From 200 freelancers to onsite accommodations and backup generators, discover the team and systems behind unforgettable events.
The Part of the Event You Never See, But Always Feel
Spotlights, floral arches, LED screens. Guests see the show.
But behind every breathtaking moment is a crew: sweating, lifting, building, troubleshooting, smiling.
At Impact Production Group (IPG), our back-of-house operations are as important as what happens on stage. Because without riggers, welders, electricians, decorators, logistics coordinators, and truck drivers, there is no show.
This is the story of what happens before guests arrive and after they leave.
It’s what you don’t see… but absolutely feel.
The Arrival: Trucks, Checklists & Controlled Chaos
It begins with the arrival of the fleet.
For every major event, IPG coordinates:
- Multiple transport trucks packed with trussing, gear, furniture, staging, lighting
- Staggered arrival timelines to match terrain and site access
- Onsite logistics teams with printed checklists and QR scan systems
- Forklifts, trolleys, and crew teams ready to offload, sort, and stage

“This is where it starts: the moment the trucks open. Every piece has its place. Every minute counts.” – Didier, IPG Logistics Coordinator
Onsite Crew Housing: Comfort, Rest & Efficiency
Big builds don’t finish in a day. And our crew doesn’t sleep in cars.
For multi-day productions, especially in remote or high-demand zones, Impact Production Group (IPG) books nearby Airbnbs and rented bungalows for our teams and freelancers. Keeping everyone close to site protects energy, safety, and time.
What we provide:
- Comfortable housing in vetted Airbnbs/bungalows
- Access to bathrooms, showers, and hot meals
- Quiet rest zones so crews can truly recharge between shifts
Why it matters:
- Hours saved on transport each day = more sleep and sharper focus
- Safer working conditions thanks to reduced fatigue
- Faster response times for late-night tweaks or early call times
They’re not luxury hotels, but they’re clean, safe, and chosen for maximum efficiency and crew wellbeing. Because crew care = event success.
Local Impact: The Economy You Don’t See
Our operational choices do more than power shows, they support the island’s economy.
- Accommodation spend: Renting local Airbnbs and bungalows puts money directly into host communities.
- Jobs created: We mobilize 200+ freelancers on peak builds and regularly engage part-time event workers, from riggers and drivers to florists and brand ambassadors.
- Local suppliers: Fuel,catering, extra transport, print, extra carpentry and signage are sourced locally whenever possible.
- Skills & training: Department leads mentor junior crew, growing Mauritius’ technical talent pool.
In short: when IPG builds an event, local businesses thrive alongside the production.
Powering the Production: Generators & Redundancy Systems
No power, no show.
That’s why IPG’s technical team always installs:
- Primary generators sized for all lighting, sound, screens, catering
- Backup units ready to auto-switch in case of failure
- Fuel management teams onsite during multi-day events
- Cable routing crews to avoid hazards and preserve aesthetics
Our generators are tested, grounded, and weather-secured before guests arrive.
Guests never notice. That’s the point.
Welding, Rigging & Real-World Engineering
Not all structures come off a truck. Some are built onsite, by hand.
Our production crew includes:
- Certified welders for custom floral arches, gates, and frames
- Rigging experts securing LED panels, signage, and lighting to trusses
- Fabrication teams handling last-minute fixes or adjustments
- Safety supervisors checking every weld, bolt, and load rating
This is real work. In the real world. Done to perfection.
Signage, Wayfinding & Details That Matter
As the skeleton of the event takes shape, another crew moves in, the branding and signage team.
They handle:
- Directional signage for guests, staff, and VIPs
- Welcome panels and branded backdrops
- Seating charts, menus, and table identifiers
- Decals, vinyl prints, and glass stickers
It’s not glamorous, but it’s vital. Every sign prevents confusion. Every arrow saves time. Every detail makes the guest feel cared for.
