About NXTGENbps

NXTGENbps is dedicated to empowering the media and events industries with sustainable, high-performance energy solutions. Our zero-emission, silent battery generators enable productions to operate responsibly, reducing environmental impact without compromising on quality or reliability.

Our Story

NXTGENbps was launched as the innovative sustainability-focused arm of Broadcast & Production Services (BPS), a trusted name in the film, TV, and events industries for over 20 years. Established with a commitment to delivering the highest quality products, advice, and service, BPS quickly grew into one of the leading suppliers of new and used broadcast video and audio equipment. In 2023, BPS proudly celebrated its 20th anniversary, marking two decades of dedication and expertise.

The idea for NXTGENbps took shape as the BPS team recognised a growing need for sustainable energy solutions within production. In 2022, NXTGENbps was officially launched to meet this demand, providing zero-emission, silent, green battery generators that replace traditional diesel options across the events and entertainment industry. With these solutions, we empower clients to make greener choices without sacrificing performance.

Backed by the same proactive and friendly team that defines BPS, NXTGENbps combines over 150 years of collective experience across 15 talented individuals. Our team’s deep industry knowledge and approachable style mean that clients continue to return to us, trusting us to deliver sustainable solutions that uphold the same standards of reliability and quality.

Operating from BPS’s HQ, a charming converted 19th-century fire station in Hampton, Middlesex and our new Warehouse in Surrey, we provide rapid delivery options across the UK and internationally, ensuring clients receive what they need, when they need it. NXTGENbps embodies BPS’s legacy while leading the charge towards a sustainable future for the production industry.

Our Historical Home

NXTGENbps operates from a unique and storied home—a converted 19th-century fire station in Hampton, Middlesex. This historic building, which once housed horse-drawn fire engines and brave firefighters racing to the scene, is now the backbone of our operations. In 2025 we added a new warehouse to support sales and logistics in Bramley Surrey.

Today, instead of horse-drawn carriages, our team delivers sustainable power solutions in our modern electric van. While the modes of transport have changed over the years, our focus on reliable and efficient service remains the same. We are committed to meeting the needs of our clients with innovative, eco-friendly solutions that align with modern production demands. From our historic base, we continue to serve the industry with a dedication to quality, ensuring every project benefits from our expertise and sustainable approach.
