elcome to the latest edition of the Stand Out Temporary
Structures Guide. We have been hard at work gathering the best of the best when it comes to temporary event structures. Whether it is an exciting new brand activation, hospitality and VIP areas at a sporting event, a fancy festival setting or a rejuvenation project on an existing event space – if it is creative, out of
the ordinary and “stands out”, you’ll find it in the following pages. The guide kicks off with MUTA’s president Jon Parr providing an update on how the temporary structure market has evolved in recent years, along with what organisers should be aware of when securing temporary infrastructure for their event. This leads on to a piece from Alastair Soane, director of Structural Safety, who explains some of the common questions organisers have relating to temporary demountable structures. You’ll also find advice and guidance on how to write the perfect brief for your chosen temporary structure supplier and Darren Woodhouse, operations director at GL events, reveals how temporary structure specialists can make an organiser’s life easier. This latest edition also contains pearls of wisdom from the brightest minds across the industry, along with information on how the raft of different structures that are now available can be used, and more importantly the benefits they could bring to your event or festival. This guide truly contains everything an organiser needs to know to get their temporary infrastructure right, on time, every time. Savour this useful resource time and time again throughout the events season and share this treasure trove of information with other events professionals. Let’s celebrate this wonderful industry, and the innovative structures and ideas available
