We confirm the following Senior organisational change. Phil Parker will assume the role of Chief Executive Officer (CEO), effective immediately, in accordance with the previously communicated leadership succession plan. In his new role as CEO, Phil will continue to build upon the strong foundation established by Andy Wright, who we thank for his exceptional leadership and progressive approach under his five-year tenure.

Safety is our core value, and we know just how important it is for everyone to learn road safety as early as possible. Last week, our teams hosted five interactive sessions with Special Educational Needs (SEN) schools across the UK, educating over 300+ learners about road safety, hazard identification and safe decision-making. Thank you to all of our teams and partner schools who provided us with the opportunity to support over 300+ young children to make safer choices and become more confident with their road safety. #RoadSafetyWeek #PowerOfSunbelt

*Content trigger warning note: death* Safety is one of our core values and we believe if something can’t be done safely it won’t be done. In 2021, we created an awareness video "A Simple Mistake." This video was not created in response to a specific incident, but rather as a proactive approach to raise awareness. It addresses an important issue that remains just as relevant today: the importance of exiting your vehicle on the safe side, away from live traffic. Please watch ‘A Simple Mistake’ and remember the message when exiting your vehicle.

As the UK faces the impact of climate change, the need for innovative solutions to protect our planet has never been more important.

This #WorldTelevisionDay, we’re shining a spotlight on the power of community and our future talent entering the world of Film and TV. We recently caught up with Katy Kardasz, Regional Sales and Operations Manager at Sunbelt Rentals, who has been enhancing Film & TV productions for nearly two decades. Katy shared her passion for creating opportunities for people of all backgrounds and genders, highlighting the training and workshops recently offered at our Manchester depot and in collaboration with Liverpool Film Office: “Since opening, we’ve hosted 16mm and 35mm Film workshops that have been incredibly well attended, especially by camera trainees. It’s rewarding to provide hands-on experience with loading film magazines and lacing up cameras like the Arri 416, Arri LT, Arri ST, and Arri 435.” Read more about Katy’s inspiring career, the importance of investing in our future talent, and efforts to champion female representation in the industry.
