The Company has been continuously trading for more than 50 years, is independent, Australian owned and operates in Australia & New Zealand.

Peter Grisard heads Venue Engineering at The P.A. People – ’We have a reasonable amount of grey hair in my team,’ Peter says. ‘We are a unique combination of young talented designers with new ideas, working with highly experienced senior staff to deliver some of the largest staging projects in Australia and New Zealand. Part of my role is understanding the client needs and then to bring these back to the team to determine what is possible, what are the options, what is not possible’. Peter continues – ‘safety is always the paramount concern, and we must constantly remind both ourselves and our clients that in this field of work, we lift, suspend and move objects over audiences and performers.’
