Broadcast and live event service company NEP is claiming to have made a step change to its business with the closure of its acquisition of Australia’s Global Television.



Indeed, NEP says that adding Global to its existing portfolio of assets spanning the US, UK and Brazil will unite two of the world’s most experienced and successful television technical services companies into a powerhouse. Australia’s largest provider of independent TV studios and OB services, Global Television is renowned for technical expertise in host broadcasting. Its partnerships with broadcasters and production companies have resulted in several major contracts including the 2014 Glasgow Commonwealth Games and the 2014 G20 Summit in Brisbane. Global Television will remain an independent entity based in Australia, operating under NEP management, led by current CEO Keith Andrews and his executive team.



The acquisition will see NEP add Global Television’s top-tier fleet of outside broadcast and studio facilities to its worldwide pool of resources raising its total facilities to more than 70 high-definition (HD) units; several HD flypacks; plus studios in Los Angeles, New York, London, Cardiff, Sydney and Melbourne.



“We are pleased to officially welcome Global Television into our worldwide network of brands. Global is a true service leader, and I am looking forward to working with them as they continue to grow their business,” commented NEP CEO Kevin Rabbit. “This is an exciting opportunity for all of us. As NEP continues to look for opportunities for expansion into new geographies, the addition of Global not only brings us to Australia, but provides a great launching point into Asia and other areas around the globe.”



“This outcome is terrific news for both NEP and Global’s clients, staff, and partners, because it will broaden and deepen the pool of expertise and technology available to them all,” added Andrews. “This is a powerful marriage of two companies with similar cultures and a shared commitment to provide exceptional service and lead technology innovation with the best teams in the business.”
