What makes Arena the best?

Outside Broadcasting
Arena started in 1990 and is the UK’s largest private player. We operate 18 trucks including 4 of Europe’s largest HD OB units. We have a core staff of over 50, many of whom have joined us from other OB companies. A further 3 trucks are now on order. OB12 is a maximum length rigid HD Scanner, importantly the truck can function with the expanding side in or out. OB10 is a duplicate of our popular double expand artics (OB7, 8 & 9). Also new is VT6 a maximum length articulated HD VT truck with expanding side. It will contain two full edit suites and a 2 tier VT Operators area.

CO2 Neutral
In another industry leading move, we have invested a suitable level of funding in a recognised independent scheme called targetneutral. This effectively fully off sets the CO2 emissions we generate from the unavoidable consumption of fuel and electricity. - Richard Yeowart, Managing Director.
