Charges for support at events

Normal working hours are Monday to Friday, 08:45 – 16:45
If the request is for setting up a system we will do our best to free up a technician for this and there will be no charge. However, if a technician is required to give dedicated support for a longer period, this may not be possible. In this case we can offer to bring in a contractor. This is likely to cost in the region of £50 per hour with a minimum period of four hours to be booked.

Weekdays after 16:45
For support requests after 16:45 there will be a charge. An IT Services AV technician, if available, would cost around £20 per hour. If an IT Services AV technician is not available, a contractor can be booked. This is likely to cost in the region of £65 per hour with a minimum period of four hours to be booked.

Weekends
For support requests at weekends there will be a charge. An IT Services AV technician, if available, would cost around £30 per hour on Saturday and £40 per hour on Sunday. A minimum support period of four hours would be expected. If an IT Services AV technician is not available, a contractor can be booked. This is likely to cost in the region of £85 per hour with a minimum period of four hours to be booked.
