Galactic partnership Temporary power hire and site set-up specialist Powertek has
rebranded as ‘Star Power’ and will expand its service offering through a strategic partnership with sister company Star Platforms. Star Power will offer its specialist power services nationally through
Star Platforms' network of seven depots, creating new opportunities for both highly successful brands. Bristol-based Star Power has built a reputation for providing
temporary and emergency generator hire service for the construction, event management, media and film, facilities maintenance, utilities, and data management sectors. Star Platforms has grown rapidly since it was founded in 2014 and
now provides a national powered access rental service, sales and training service, with depots in Luton, Coalville, Tonbridge, Reading, Thetford, Bridgwater and Warrington.
Matt Paul, who built the Powertek business over 20 years, remains
as a director overseeing the company's Bristol operation. He said: "I'm looking forward to helping Star Power forge ahead with its aim of becoming a national force. Star Platforms MD Richard Miller added: "We're very much looking
forward to working with our colleagues at Star Power. In effect, we will be one team, meeting a wider range of client needs. There are significant linkages between our service offers, for
example in the provision of powered access and generators for the film and construction industries. Our partnership will help us realise these opportunities in ways that control costs while adding a great deal of value for our clients." Star Power will be rolling out its offering through Star Platform's depot network in a staged process throughout 2023.
