TRS Appointed Kinesys Distributor<br />
Automation specialist and<br />
manufacturer Kinesys has<br />
appointed <strong>The</strong> Rigging Shop<br />
(TRS) as the exclusive distributor for<br />
its products in Australia and New<br />
Zealand. Based in New South Wales,<br />
the sales dedicated TRS operation is<br />
part of Pollard Productions, popular and<br />
well-respected rigging professionals<br />
working in all areas of live shows and<br />
events, TV productions and concert<br />
touring. Pollard is also a long term<br />
customer of Kinesys. <strong>The</strong> announcement<br />
follows a recent visit to Australia by<br />
Dave Weatherhead MD Kinesys, who<br />
comments, “TRS share our core values,<br />
standards of excellence and attention to<br />
detail. <strong>The</strong>y have the right attitude and<br />
bring a huge amount of knowledge and<br />
enthusiasm to the equation and through<br />
the Pollard Productions connection, the<br />
TRS team is also really experienced with<br />
our product ranges. We are confident<br />
of a very positive future”. TRS is headed<br />
by James Ring (owner of the enterprise<br />
and Pollard Productions) and Mike<br />
Stephenson and have been actively<br />
using and specifying Kinesys equipment<br />
and solutions. Since TRS opened in<br />
2011, they have carried a selected<br />
stock of signature Kinesys items like<br />
Elevation variable speed chain hoist<br />
controllers, DigiHoist controllers and<br />
the LibraCELL load monitoring system<br />
which they were able to supply quickly<br />
ex stock.<br />
This business grew steadily and<br />
alongside this, they started undertaking<br />
servicing and support as major rental<br />
Australian companies like PRG and<br />
Chameleon invested in Kinesys.<br />
Having actively promoted the Kinesys<br />
product for so many years already<br />
James says, “I continue to be impressed<br />
with how the products are designed<br />
and engineered by people who REALLY<br />
understand the principles, practices<br />
and responsibilities of rigging”. We are<br />
proud to take on the distributorship<br />
and really value being part of the<br />
Kinesys international team”.<br />
