canegreen merges with green-i
technology, news, february 2007, COMMENTS
Audio-visual sales and service company, Green-i, has marked its fifth anniversary by acquiring the interests of corporate event service company, Canegreen Commercial.
The deal was confirmed on December 1, 2006, and becomes effective from January 1, 2007. Both companies were set up as associate business units to the successful rental production company Canegreen Ltd, established by Yan Stile and Pete Edmonds back in 1982. In 1996 Andrew Frengley spearheaded Canegreen’s expansion when the new Canegreen Commercial made an instant impact in the corporate event market. In 2001 Green-i, under Ian ‘Woody’ Woodall further underpinned the expansion with a vibrant installation division in the industry’s growing leisure hospitality sector. Concurrently Richard Brooker Sound Design added a third string to Canegreen’s bow.
The new Green-i executive brings the two successful former independent company MDs Ian Woodall and Andrew Frengley together with Richard Martin as the new Managing Director. Richard moves across from his former role as Operations Director at Canegreen.
“We could see an obvious synergy of rolling Canegreen Commercial into Green-i, since both companies had reached the top in their respective fields,” commented Woody. “The move was triggered by the large number of rental staging events we were being asked to produce in venues for which we had previously carried out installations.”
