CH 02 — The Kit
Everything you need to stay in touch
Simple, tough, reliable kit — hired by the day, the weekend or the month. Tell Mal how many people need to talk and he'll sort the rest.
Earpieces & headsets
Discreet earpieces for security and front-of-house, or full headsets for noisy sites — hear every word without broadcasting it.
Chargers & spare batteries
Multi-way chargers and spares included where you need them, so a long day never goes quiet halfway through.
Event packs
Need a bigger fleet for a festival, show or site? Bulk packs come boxed, labelled and all set to the same channel.

CH 05 — About
The Mal behind Big Mal's
Big Mal's is run by Malcolm Freeman Feely — a one-man band, and proud of it. When you call, you get Mal. When your kit turns up, Mal's checked it. And if anything's not right, Mal fixes it. No call centres, no ticket numbers, no being passed around.
Radio hire doesn't need to be complicated. You tell Mal what you're doing, he tells you what kit you need and what it'll cost, and it turns up ready to go. That's the whole business.

CH 06 — FAQ
Straight answers
Do I need a licence to use the radios?
Not for licence-free PMR446 radios — they're legal for anyone to use in the UK straight out of the case. If your job needs more power or range, Mal can talk you through licensed options when you call.
What range will I get?
It depends on the terrain — across an open showground you'll get considerably further than through a steel-framed building. For most events, sites and venues, handhelds comfortably cover the whole area. Tell Mal where you're working and he'll make sure the kit suits the ground.
How long can I hire for?
As long as you need — a single day, a weekend festival, or week-by-week for a longer project. Longer hires work out better value, so mention your dates when you get in touch.
Do the radios arrive ready to use?
Yes. Every radio goes out fully charged, tested and set to the same channel, with chargers and any earpieces you've asked for. Switch on and start talking.
How much does it cost?
It depends on how many handsets you need, for how long, and what accessories you want. Call Mal on 07749 536695 for a straight answer and a fair price — no obligation.
