ABOUT US our story
Heart
Everything at Rockit starts with our people.
Working with an excellent team, the best equipment and exceptional clients is a recipe for magic that we have been crafting since 2007. Our people are the face and heart of our business and there is a universal love amongst us all for producing the very best events. Our reputation precedes us. We’re the nice people who strive for perfection and work tirelessly to ensure that when you walk into your finished space, it not only meets your expectation but blows it completely out of the water. Nothing is too much trouble and no job is too big or too small. If we’ve said it’s possible, you can be confident that we will deliver.
Culture
Uncompromising Standards. Unwavering Inclusivity. Unstoppable Impact.
Everyone we meet provides us with an opportunity to make an impact, no matter how small. So, with people at the heart of our culture, we make sure everyone is looked after from staff to clients and beyond. We are focused on giving our clients the best experience possible, coming together to create beautiful, inspired events. Our investments are focused on having the highest possible standards. From recruitment to purchasing, we ensure we only work with the very best so that we can produce the very best. Having the highest standards means no detail is overlooked, reliability is key and every event is approached with care. Amongst our people, respect, kindness and inspiration is absolutely non-negotiable and we pride ourselves on this not being just noticed but felt deeply by everyone we encounter.
Right at the centre of Rockit’s culture is our unwavering dedication to promoting true Equality, Diversity and Inclusion within the events industry. With significant underrepresentation in the industry from diverse communities, we are incredibly proud to be an inclusive and diverse team. We are always searching to open doors and provide opportunities to those who might otherwise face barriers or may not have even encountered the incredible opportunities the technical events field has to offer. From providing high-quality work experiences to proudly partnering with multiple charities and projects focused on diversity and inclusion, our commitment to building relationships is constantly in motion.
Legacy
Humble Beginnings to Exceptional Business
Being an exceptional business is a status that is built into our DNA. We will not ever settle for less. To be exceptional, there is no choice but to make sure you are contributing not only to your own industry but to the world around you. Our passion for making a difference is what drives us to provide exceptional quality whether that is for our clients and events, our team and business family or the community that we are so actively involved in.
Our company was built on humble beginnings. Everything that we represent moving forwards is a reflection of respect for the past and a drive towards leaving a legacy of exceptional contribution everywhere we go.
Sustainability
Passionately Sustainable
At Rockit, making sure we make positive contributions in every aspect of our working life is our passion. The events industry and the world as a whole is notorious for quick consumption and high levels of waste so our mission is to flip this attitude on its head and focus on finding ways to make our both our working practises and our contribution to events as sustainable as possible without compromising on quality. Add to this the impact of a fast paced industry on the people it so heavily leans on and there is a clear obligation to make sure we’re focused on ensuring we’re able to thrive not only as a business but as individuals too. We want to always be thinking about ways to make sure we lead the way with doing the best for our planet and all those we engage with.
Environmentally Sustainable
We recognise our influential position in the supply chain and how our dedication to promoting sustainable practises, within our own staff as well as those we encounter, will have a substantial impact. Our commitment is to increasing the environmental sustainability of all our current working practises while inspiring our team, contractors and those around us to uphold the best practises we model. From eliminating single use plastics within the business to offering multiple-use carpet options and developing an Instagram page focussed on reusing and recycling items from events, we are leaving no stone unturned in our ambition to lead with a transparent and passionate culture for environmental sustainability.
Focused on the Future
Rockit NexGen was created with the vision of opening doors to a frequently closed-off industry, offering as many people as possible opportunities to experience the varied, interesting and exciting world of technical live events. Rockit’s people-first culture alongside a strong desire to move away from ‘the status-quo’ positions us perfectly to be able to support the growth of individuals both within and beyond our company while still providing exceptional service to our clients. We’re passionately committed to unlocking the potential of new talent, supporting the growth and development of the next generation of our industry.
With carefully built links with inclusive employment programs, work experience schemes and charitable projects, we love opening the doors to an industry and environment that we truly thrive in, hoping that we can ignite the spark for others too.
Empowering. Growing. Thriving.
Making sure that it is possible for everyone to thrive is a key focus for us here at Rockit. Comprehensive training, mentoring and development programs allow us to grow our team no matter their starting points so that we can shape careers and give them the very best grounding. We’re proud to be an Accredited Living Wage Employer, investing well in the very people who make our business what it is. It’s important to recognise that life isn’t always easy. By providing an Employee Assistance Program and comprehensive support internally by trained and experienced staff, we can ensure that our people are always well taken care of even when times are a bit tough.
