Company Summary

Rockit is a technical production and hire company, supplying the event industry with technical services, lighting, sound and audio visual equipment. The company was founded in 2007 and experienced rapid growth in the last five years pre-pandemic, meeting and exceeding the needs of a wide and prestigious client base. Rockit is a small company, with a huge appetite to succeed, striving to maintain a personal, bespoke and flawless experience for our clients. Our 'can do' and thorough approach ensures the exceptional standards required to deliver the high quality events in which we pride ourselves. With our office & warehouse based in Hertfordshire, we have good transport links into Central London where the majority of our work is placed although our clients and events are placed across the UK.
