NOEA’s policy to educate, share problems and enhance professionalism and business opportunities clearly works. The regional workshops/conferences and Annual Convention & Award Celebration Evenings offer opportunities to find out about the latest developments – to learn about topical issues such as the Licensing Act, Disability Discrimination Act, Security Industry Authority etc, Training Event Managers, working on the British Standard for the Sustainability of Event Management, UKEVENTS, The Genesis Initiative, to debate issues, share information, network, meet new business contacts, renew old friendships and have some fun.

EVENT

The Inspiring Journey

The events industry is experiencing significant growth and transformation, fuelled by a rebound from pandemic disruptions and a surge in demand for both in-person and hybrid events. From weddings and corporate conferences to large-scale music festivals, event planners are navigating a landscape filled with opportunity and risk. Event insurance has become a vital tool for mitigating uncertainties and protecting investments.

Understanding Event Insurance

Event insurance is a specialised policy designed to protect organisers from financial losses due to unforeseen disruptions or liabilities.

It typically includes:

1. Cancellation or Abandonment Coverage: Reimburses non-recoverable expenses if an event is cancelled or delayed due to issues like severe weather, illness, or venue complications.

2. Public Liability Insurance: Covers legal and compensation costs if someone is injured or property is damaged at the event.

3. Property Cover: Protects essential event equipment, including sound systems, lighting, and decor, from damage or theft.

4. Tailored Policies: Specific coverage for unique events, virtual components, or specialised equipment like drones.

Why Event Insurance is Crucial in 2025

1. Rising Uncertainties

Economic instability, supply chain disruptions, and increasingly unpredictable weather patterns make it harder to guarantee smooth event execution. Event insurance provides a safety net against such risks.

2. Legal and Venue Requirements

Many venues now require proof of liability insurance as a condition for hosting events. Without this, organisers may face fines, legal trouble, or lost venue bookings.

3. Increased Costs

Inflation has driven up the costs of event production, from catering to staffing. Insurance ensures that these significant investments are protected in case of an unexpected disruption.

4. Hybrid and Virtual Events

The rise of hybrid events has brought new risks, including cyber threats and technology failures.

How to Choose the Right Policy

When selecting event insurance, consider:

• Coverage Scope: Ensure it aligns with your event’s scale and complexity.

• Customisation: Look for flexibility to tailor policies to your specific needs.

• Claim Process: Choose providers known for efficient claims handling.

• Policy Limits: Confirm coverage amounts are adequate for potential losses.

Conclusion

Event insurance in 2025 is a non-negotiable aspect of planning any event. It provides financial protection, legal compliance, and peace of mind in a rapidly changing world. By investing in a comprehensive policy, organisers can focus on delivering memorable experiences without the stress of unforeseen challenges.

MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

PRESIDENT – TOM CLEMENTS

The Voice of an Industry

I write this not long after thoroughly enjoying the NOEA Annual Convention & Awards. A massive congratulations to everyone who both received a ‘NOEA’ and reached the finals, it was a tremendous day and evening celebration.

As well as a celebration of the industry, it reminded me of the importance of people in everything we do. Be they individual, group, event, or production support awards, behind every winner was a person and a team. The best in the industry shone through.

Reflecting on 2024, I’m also minded to begrudgingly project myself into the awful events of 2020 and the pandemic. I remember, through all the pain, a clear message resonating with me, that this was also going to be about people.

At first, it was just about trying to get them support, to help them with their personal and professional struggles. It then evolved to try and get them back into the industry, to limit this extraordinary loss of talent we were facing. More recently, it has been about attracting new and exciting talent. Now, more than ever, it’s about developing an elite talent pool for our industry.

The story of 2024 will be what I am calling ‘compromised growth’. 2025 needs to be about responsible, fair, and stable growth, that sets our industry onto a more stable pathway. This is not easy.

The increase in Employers National Insurance represents another additional cost to event budgets. Add to this the high cost of living, plus further legislation for employment and the arrival (possibly) of the Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Bill (Martyn’s Law).

Equally, this year’s budget saw 40% rate relief for hospitality businesses. However, while in central government events fall into this category, I often wonder why some local authorities do not pass this on, ignoring events as being part of hospitality? As an industry, we need to pressurise government to force local authorities to put this right, along with the devolved governments of Scotland, Wales and NI, who seem happy to take the funding from Westminster but not spend it as it was meant.

These are just a few of the many challenges for our industry, one which has, in the past, soaked up these headwinds; never missing a beat. Hopefully we will again, but I have to admit it is getting harder.

The team at NOEA though are, in my opinion, the best around. We, more than any other association, can support the industry in this growth, and I look forward to playing my part. The outcome being more representative events; that are affordable for everyone; that they are safe and professionally run; that the entrepreneurs and the creatives that bring them to life are justly rewarded for the risks they take; and that the suppliers and support partners that do likewise share in this success.

This all takes people. Collaborating for the common good. Pooling intelligence and resources together to create unforgettable experiences for millions. It takes talented individuals bringing their unique skills together.

This is what sustainable and responsible growth looks like.

I wish every NOEA member the very best of luck for 2025 and hope they can make their own impact in the recreation of this very special industry.

By Tom Clements, President, National Outdoor Events Association

VICE PRESIDENTS – ALYSHA SARGENT AND ANDREW MCQUILLAN

Hi all, and welcome to the 2025 Yearbook.

As we step into the new year, I’ve been reflecting on a post I read on LinkedIn last year. It discussed how much planning we do in our work, yet no matter how much we prepare, there are always things we can’t foresee. Every year, we spend countless hours making meticulous plans for our events, but inevitably, things will come up that are just not planned for. But here’s the thing: what makes us truly great at what we do is how we handle those unexpected moments. The key is in how we deal with what comes up, not just the plans we put in place ahead of time. It’s about how we rely on our “toolkits”, our past experiences, lessons learned, and the “little black books” we’ve built up over the years, filled with contacts and trusted people who can help when things get tricky, which often includes someone with a tractor! Another vital aspect of what makes us good at our jobs is the inevitable mistakes and oversights that happen along the way. We’re all human, after all. We miss things, forget things, or simply don’t plan for certain variables. But, through those mistakes, we grow. It’s in the moments when things don’t go as planned that we learn the most. And in the end, we ensure we never make the same mistake twice.

Last year, I had a moment working on a new event that reinforced just how amazing the people in this industry are. None of us had worked together before, yet when we were all on site, we were immediately on the same page. Everyone was working together toward one common goal: to create something incredible for the audience to enjoy, while having a great time doing it. It’s moments like this that remind me just how wonderful our industry truly is, and how important it is to work with such talented and passionate people.

In the end, what makes us great isn’t just our ability to plan, it’s our ability to weather the storm (literally), problem-solve on the fly, and react when the “you-know-what hits the fan.” Even after all that, we’re always ready to come back for more. It’s that resilience, adaptability, and sense of community that makes us who we are.

As always, I want to take a moment to thank you for your continued support. Without you, we wouldn’t have the amazing organisation we do. It’s because of our shared commitment to helping one another, understanding what we’re all going through, and celebrating each other’s successes that we continue to thrive.

Here’s to a fantastic 2025 - let’s make it a year of growth, laughter, and unforgettable moments!

It’s Our Time Now 2024 has been tough. There is no doubt about it, operating and running events continues to get harder. It’s never been simple, but 2024 once again reminded us of the many headwinds that this industry continues to face as it looks to prosper. However, despite that, the industry continues to grow. This isn’t always healthy growth, it is often painful, and at great cost to entrepreneurs, investors, and teams.

But as an industry we are on the up. We should be thankful at least for that.

As your representative trade association, it is incumbent on us to make sure that the growth of the industry is the right growth. That, as we see the return to relative prosperity, we remain responsible. That as we see growth, we see it as fairly distributed, and that we continue to support those that need it.

NOEA’s message continues to evolve, but it will stay the same when it comes to talent within the industry. Our President, Tom Clements, led us on this journey during the pandemic and never has this message been more important. As the industry gets harder, we need more skills, as it gets bigger, we need more people, as we look for responsibility, it needs more diversity. This is crucial to us, our members, and our industry.

At the same time, as the industry grows, so should its association. Our brand surely is at an all-time high, with so many looking to NOEA as the credible and intelligent voice of the industry. We speak honestly, not always popularly, but credibly.

Next year I hope to help us grow our footprint and our influence across business, government, and society. This is an industry that demands attention, understanding, and support. We owe it to our members to continue to grow so that our collective voice is heard.

We have an incredible platform, built on the back of our best-in-class partners and sponsors. Where would we be without the support of Qdos, See Tickets, and NCASS, as well as the many more who sponsor our awards and convention. Because of their foresight, and their investment in the industry, NOEA continues to grow stronger. I thank them sincerely.

I’ve never been more personally ambitious that I am for 2025. There remains so much to do, but so much to gain. NOEA is up for the challenge, and so are our members.

Susan Tanner CEO, National Outdoor Event Association

NOEA SCOTLAND

VICE CHAIRMAN – JONATHAN REID

2024 has been a tremendous year for outdoor events in Scotland with great press coverage throughout for everyone’s hard work and dedication.

As the home of golf, in 2024 Scotland hosted the 152nd Open Championship at Royal Troon, The Ladies Open Championship at St Andrews, The Mens Scottish Open at The Renaissance Club, The Ladies Scottish Open at Dundonald Links and The Senior Open at Carnoustie Links – what a line up!

Murrayfield hosted Taylor Swift, P!NK was at Hampden, Greenday at Bellahouston, Belladrum Festival, TRNSMT Festival and so many other outdoor music events all hosted during the summer too – what a programme we had last year!

The British Geological Survey have confirmed that The Eras Tour at Murrayfield was literally ‘earth shaking’ with seismograph readings detected up to 6 km away from the site – what an enthusiastic bunch we are! It was sad that The Blair Atholl Horse Trials will no longer be held at this fantastic venue going forward but great news that Scone Palace have stepped in to host this important event in the equestrian calendar.

Of course there were thousands more fantastic events over the year but I am sure that, like me, you were disappointed to see Edinburgh’s 31st Hogmanay celebrations cancelled due to bad weather right at the end of the year.

This is a truly world class event and such a shame to see it cancelling at the last minute. I know there has been a huge amount of work done by organisers, contractors and suppliers alike and it is such a heartbreak that it didn’t go ahead.

Looking forward to 2025, Scotland has a great list of events planned – far too many to list here of course but some highlights will be The Tall Ships Race in Aberdeen – this is a hugely popular event and a magnificent spectacle for the audience.

We have Oasis playing at Murrayfield which will be huge for their enormous fan base – Edinburgh will be jumping that night and maybe just as earth-shaking as Taylor Swift? – we will see!It is hugely exciting that Glasgow have stepped in at short notice to host a slightly reduced Commonwealth Games in 2026. This was after Victoria pulled out due to escalating costs. I remember the buzz in Scotland is 2014 when the Games were last here and what an accolade to bring this huge event back to Scotland. No doubt a huge effort from the team involved to make this happen with significantly reduced timescales. However I have no doubt that the entire industry will rally round to make this another huge Scottish success.

All in all, hugely busy times ahead and as ever, I would like to wish everyone a busy and prosperous year ahead.

Jonathan Reid Vice Chairman, NOEA Scotland

NEW TO COUNCIL

RICHARD BATE – CONSULTING MANAGING DIRECTOR INTUITION STRATEGIC CONSULTING LTD

I have been a passionate member of NOEA since 2007. I have advised NOEA on health, safety and sustainability as a co-opted member of the council for several years. I was honoured and humbled to be elected to NOEA Council at the 2024 AGM.

I have been in events for thirty years, in that time, like many of you reading the yearbook, I have been fortunate to work on some incredible events, including three Olympic Games, the World Rally Championship, Formula E and many more.

I am committed to the integration of sustainability into safety and share this passion through public speaking and when wearing my other hat as the President-Elect of IOSH. I have committed to supporting NOEA to be advocates of sustainability – exciting times ahead.

DR CHRIS HOWES – MANAGING DIRECTOR OF FESTIVAL MEDICAL SERVICES

I am very pleased to be invited on to Council and to to advise NOEA on medical issues affecting events. Healthcare provision at events is becoming increasingly high profile at the moment with changes in regulation coming and work underway to develop an Event Healthcare Standard. Both of these initiatives are aimed at raising standards across the sector and as such are to be applauded; to be effective however, they must be both relevant and achievable and NOEA’s voice needs to be heard in these discussions.

My background is in NHS general practice and as CEO of Festival Medical Services I have 45 years’ experience of providing medical cover at shows around the country. I have recently been involved in getting the Event Medical Association off the ground, with huge support from NOEA colleagues and for several years I have helped write the medical chapter of the Purple Guide.

I have hugely enjoyed working with NOEA so far and I feel very privileged to have the opportunity to contribute to such a progressive and well-respected organisation.

BEV OSBORNE – PARTNER, TRAINING 4 RESILIENCE LLP

I am thrilled and incredibly proud to be elected to the NOEA Council at the recent AGM. I have been a member of NOEA for a number of years, and have been privileged to work alongside the team to help deliver sessions at the Annual Convention, and support at some of the events such as Showman’s Show and the Outdoor Events Show. For me, NOEA has always been an important voice for everyone in the industry – whether they are a large organisation with a worldwide presence, or a small company with less than 5 people working from an office base at home. I love the fact that NOEA membership is based on quality, best practice and reliability – because supporting one another to deliver world class events is what we do best. I am passionate about crisis and emergency management training for the events industry; and I am also hugely privileged to coordinate 5,000 volunteers for Glastonbury Festival. I hope I can bring these skills, along with enthusiasm and commitment to the team to help us continue to grow and develop as an organisation.

OUR OBJECTIVES:

• To promote the highest standards of medical care at outdoor events

• To encourage and support good clinical and corporate governance

• To encourage and support continued development of staff and volunteers and the maintenance of their qualifications and competencies

• To share experience and good practice and provide mutual support

• To provide a forum for discussion and debate amongst event medical providers

• To represent the event medical sector and actively promote its good standing

• To negotiate discounted goods and services for members

Welcome to the Event Medical Association, a newly founded association, representing medical providers working within the events industry.

In short, if you care about the quality of care that events give to their audiences and spectators, we’d love for you to be a part of this association.

This is a sector of the industry that is currently underrepresented, not always understood and in need of a collective voice to respond to proposed legislation and to bring a positive influence to the industry by gathering data, intelligence and insight.

At the Event Medical Association, we are bringing together businesses with shared values around quality care for the people we look after and support for the practitioners who provide it.

We also seek to work with event organisers to raise awareness of what ‘good’ looks like, their own obligations to their audiences, and how we, as an association can ensure the very best services are provided, without compromise. The founding of this association underlines the need for this level of representation and the ambition of event medical providers to continually challenge the quality of what we do, sharing learning and best practice across the sector.

We’d like to thank both the National Outdoor Events Association (NOEA) and The Showman’s Show for their support in setting up this association.

The Event Medical Association was launched a year ago at the Showman’s Show. It was launched in 2023 with a number of aims:

• To promote the highest standards of medical care at outdoor events.

• To encourage and support good clinical and corporate governance.

• To encourage and support continued development of staff and volunteers and the maintenance of their qualifications and competencies.

• To share experience and good practice and provide mutual support.

• To provide a forum for discussion and debate amongst event medical providers.

• To represent the event medical sector and actively promote its good standing.

During the past year the focus has been on quality. A Constitution and a Code of Practice have been adopted. A session at this year’s Showman’s Show looked at what distinguishes a good medical

provider and how event organisers might go about choosing one. At the NOEA Convention members looked at criteria for joining the association and how to provide a respected and credible voice for the event medical sector.

There are several changes on the horizon, with the very laudable aim of ensuring an acceptable level of healthcare at events. The Government has commissioned work to develop an Event Healthcare Standard, which will apply to the whole range of cultural and sporting events taking place across the country – a formidable undertaking given their wide variety. This will be discretionary at first but may later become a statutory requirement. It is also very likely that the Care Quality Commission will take on regulation of healthcare on site at events and there is a consultation process under way to determine how this might work. EMA has input into both these initiatives, focussing on the effects of any proposed changes on the delivery of healthcare at outdoor events. The aim of this involvement is to try to ensure the changes will be both effective and achievable. There is great enthusiasm amongst EMA members to work together to share experience, agree best practice and provide mutual support. Membership of the association brings with it all the benefits of belonging to NOEA and we hope to see increasing numbers of event medical providers joining us.

NOEA AWARDS CELEBRATE THE BEST OF 2024

NOEA Awards Predict Positive Outlook for Industry Following Awards

New events agency, The Intrepid Collective, were one of the major winners in last night’s NOEA Annual Awards as the association celebrated the best and the brightest of the UK outdoor events sector. The event also saw the association’s much coveted ‘i’ Award given to The Showman’s Show as it celebrates its 40th year in the industry.

The Intrepid Collective took away three awards, including the Judges Award, Best Events Team (COMPANY), and Event of the Year, for the agency’s activations at The Leadenhall Building – Summer of Sport. In other news, Visit Yorkshire Events Team picked up the Best Events Team (COUNCIL), while Event Organiser of the Year COMPANY went to CarFest, and Event Organiser of the Year INDIVIDUAL, went to Simon Stewart from the Cheese and Chilli Festivals.

Award

Earlier in the day the National Outdoor Event Association Convention had taken place, looking at the New Events World 2025, and by the quality of the entries and winners, the outlook for the industry should be positive, despite the many headwinds it continues to face.

The judges of the awards underlined both the continues competitiveness of the awards, and the quality of the entries, up over 30% from previous years. The judges commented: “This felt like a really ‘people-orientated’ awards event. The businesses and events that won put great people at the core of what they do, and the individual awards celebrated some very special people.”

“We were also delighted to be able to recognize The Showman’s Show for the ‘I’ Award. There was not a business in the room that hasn’t been to, benefited from, or partnered with the show. They have been exceptional for 40 years and deserve recognition from organisations like NOEA,” commented Al Turner, Chair of the Judges.

Perceptions of Safety in an Imperfect World

I recently read an insightful post that provoked me to consider our perception of safety. Is safety abstract? Is safety a value? Is safety a vision? Is safety a feeling? Is safety an absence of harm? Is safety compliance? Is safety an outcome? Is safety an aspirational goal? There are so many questions, but how are these relevant to us? With so many ongoing academic discussions, we must recognise a largely ignored perspective that drives people and organisations—value perception.

We value different things at different times and to varying degrees. We move forward toward a vision of safety while often taking three steps back and two steps forward. We prioritise different things at different

The key to building a successful trade organisation is in creating a community where members can share good practice, great ideas and lessons they’ve learnt from their time in the industry.

As part of this, NOEA launched a brand-new LinkedIn page in 2019 which now has over 6000 members from across the events industry. We regularly share information and ideas from our members, media partners and wider industry experts – all of which is designed to promote growth and improvement for us all.

times depending on what influences, motivates, and drives us. We never want harm, but we also have poor foresight and, sadly, only see the effects of our decisions in hindsight. We aim for the best, but we toil through the rest in our own imperfectly perfect way.

We do this because we must adapt to conditions we face with competing priorities in time-constrained environments. Trade-offs are a regular feature of life, and they permeate from the leadership level to the frontline with demands, pressures and resources we experience. It is not possible to be perfectly thorough and efficient at the same time in the environments we work in – challenges in the complex events industry make achieving perfection an aspiration.

Safety trade-offs are decisions that impact other organisational priorities, such as efficiency, productivity, and the bottom line. Equally, prioritising organisational priorities can simplify managing risks and safety in workplaces. Look at this again and consider your workers who are exposed to risks. How much are you expecting perfection when life rarely deals us a perfect hand?

Be attentive to how organisational trade-offs create pressures that affect people’s safety. Be realistic about your expectations, stay curious, and learn from them. Be fair, never judgmental, and always remain unbiased.

Fairgrounds can add colour, animation, and a vitality to any event and give your customers added value of experience. They can add to safety by offering delayed closing thus offering a staggered final exit if this is needed. So welcome to ADIPS (Amusement Device Inspection Procedures Scheme) We’re here to ensure that each and every fairground and amusement park ride or device is certified as safe for use. Fairgrounds and amusement parks are relatively safe when compared with other leisure activities and, in fact, represent some of the safest leisure activities of all. Each year inspections are carried out by an independent ride inspection body, whose capability to perform competent and independent inspection is assessed and monitored on an ongoing basis under the ADIPS scheme. Imagine there was no standard for the inspection of fairground rides? Organisations working to different standards, performing different inspections and tests with no oversight of the work and control of the certification issued. What confidence would you have in the Scheme, would you know that rides were being operated and maintained properly, or even safe? Check it on our website: https://adips.co.uk/ ADIPS is managed and administered by the Amusement Device Safety Council (ADSC) which is made up of representatives from all major industry trade associations.

UKEVENTS

Review and Looking Ahead to 2025

By Chris Skeith OBE, Chair, UKEVENTS

2024 has been a year of significant change for the UK events industry.

Following the General Election, we welcomed a new Government, which has brought both challenges and opportunities as we adjust to the reshuffle at the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS). Much of our focus in the second half of the year has been on building relationships with the Labour Government, ensuring the events sector continues to have a voice at the heart of decision-making.

One of the highlights of this year was our invitation to Manchester to meet Lisa Nandy MP, the newly appointed Secretary of State at DCMS. This meeting signified an important step forward, allowing us to highlight the vital role the events industry plays in supporting economic growth, fostering trade, and contributing to society. It was an encouraging dialogue and laid the foundation for future collaboration. As we reflect on the year, there is no denying that the events industry continues to face challenges, not least due to economic pressures and the evolving demands of organisers, delegates, and stakeholders. However, if there is one defining characteristic of our sector, it is resilience. Time and again, the events community has demonstrated its ability to adapt, innovate, and thrive under pressure. That resilience is, and will remain, the ace up our sleeve.

Looking ahead to 2025, our focus will be on consolidation. While we cannot demand policy changes outright, we must continue to act collectively, ensuring our unified message is heard loud and clear

THE POWER OF EVENTS

by Government. Collaboration remains key. By working together as a partnership, we can amplify our impact and underscore the value of our sector to the UK economy and beyond.

Data will continue to be our greatest asset in this endeavour. In 2024, UKEVENTS published the UK Events Report, a comprehensive collation of industry insights, research, and statistics. The report revealed that our sector contributes an impressive £62 billion in direct spend to the UK economy. However, numbers alone are not enough. Figures without context risk being overlooked unless we accompany them with real-world examples of the economic, social, and academic benefits our events bring to communities across the country.

We know that events are more than economic drivers. They provide platforms for knowledge sharing, cultural exchange, and legacy building. From trade exhibitions that boost exports to academic conferences advancing research and innovation, our industry’s impact reaches far and wide. It has never been more important to articulate these benefits clearly and consistently.

2025 will also mark a new chapter for UKEVENTS itself. With fresh faces set to join the partnership, there is renewed energy and optimism for the year ahead. As we evolve, our focus will remain steadfast: advocating for the events industry, driving forward initiatives that benefit all stakeholders, and ensuring that our sector’s voice is both unified and influential.

As we close 2024, we do so with a sense of pride in what we have achieved and confidence in our ability to tackle the challenges ahead. The events industry is not just a contributor to the UK’s success—it is a cornerstone of economic growth, innovation, and social connectivity. Together, we will ensure that message is heard, understood, and acted upon in the year to come.

The Power of Events is shaped by the industry for the benefit of the industry – uniquely everyone is welcome to be part of it.

Over the last few years, the Power of Events team has asked (and continues to ask) many in the industry for help - to work out what a not for profit organisation that aims to better showcase, respect and value the power of the UK Events Industry should look like – starting with defining the 7 core sectors.

then suggesting the partner organisations at its foundations.

This gave us a credible framework to develop an online platform, to map out the industry in a completely impartial way – hence www.thepowerofevents.org was launched in Feb 2023.

There are now over 650+ Supporters and Partners from across the industry to date, growing on a weekly basis.

The Supporters thanked on the site for their essential help in advocating the organisation’s work include event organisers, agencies and rights holders, the huge supply chain across 100s of service areas, the essential freelance network as well the vast array of venues.

There are so many online communities, associations, media publications and support organisations sharing new connections, insights and best practice. Learning about them can only enhance your personal industry journey or that of your business. There are circa 200 of these now showcased as Partners on The Power of Events platform.

Future Talent

Our University Partners initially helped demonstrate a need for the industry to better define itself to the next generation, to help academia or anyone needing to inspire young people to see the events industry as a viable career. This led to the launch of the UK wide Schools Engagement Programme which aims to engage with as many young people as possible in Secondary Schools education over the next 5 years.

Initially, the Events Industry Forum (EIF) funded a pilot in the East of England, which lead to 4 new regions being launched in 2024 – Birmingham, South Coast, Hertfordshire & Edinburgh with a range of supportive sponsors enabling this to happen.

Several new regions are also being proposed to potentially launch in 2025 including  London, the South West & North West regions.

The Power of Events interactive presentation with its unique content, is delivered by anyone who is passionate about our industry and so can volunteer as a Schools Ambassadors. We forecast engaging 75-100,000 young people across 500-600 school visits by the end of 2025.

The call to action points to exploring the platform and in particular the Careers Hub section, with over 100 job titles described and the 5 core routes to industry signposting organisations that can help with further support.

Having engaged 20,000+ young people as of Jan 2025, at the start of the presentation only 1% say they know what the events industry is or are considering a career in it – compared to an average of 65% post presentation.

Industry

events for sharing knowledge and connections

The Power of Events team attended and/or showcased at 50+ Industry events in 2024 –there is a massive range of conventions, industry exhibitions, networking forums, awards and charity fundraisersplease explore the Events Calendar on the platform as they are a brilliant way to expand connections, networks and share knowledge beyond the day to day bubble.

Collaboration on data research and insights

The good news is that post pandemic a number of associations have demonstrated more focus and dedication to this challenge, with recent reports being produced of enhanced accuracy and scope. But there is a general consensus that, in the absence of relevant and appropriate SIC and SOC codes, there is still much work to be done.

If there is more collaboration across sectors’ organisations with the remit to collate this data, with enhanced tools and profile given to the research, this can only be good thing to boost the respect, value and understanding of our industry we deserve.

The Power of Events is not a research organisation but it can help the industry by leveraging its unique cross sectors community and profile. Hence the Events Industry Insight app was launched in 2024 – it is designed to be a more engaging 21st century digital tool now ready to help associations and academia with their data & insight collation projects.

In summary

As the Power of Events core team of 5 and its Advisory Board, passionate and dedicated to the UK events Industry, tap into the shared values and mutual respect demonstrated by so many people in every meeting we have, every event we attend, we can fight for an enhanced positive spotlight on our industry. Whether the audience is future talent, national media, investors, policy influencers or those already in the industry, together we can evolve our multiple projects to better communicate our industry’s benefits to society and the economy with the clear Vision: To be the most representative, effective and collaborative showcase of the UK Events Industry –please get in touch and get involved.

2024 was an important year for the events sector in Scotland with the culmination of an extensive industry consultation exercise leading to the launch, in May, of the updated National Events Strategy –Scotland The Perfect Stage (2024 – 2035).

Building on the consultation, and to ensure a strong, shared ambition, the development and approval of the strategy was a collaborative effort involving the Scottish Government, VisitScotland, Scotland’s Event Industry Advisory Group, Local Authorities, COSLA and Trade Union representatives.

The refreshed strategy provides strategic focus for all involved in any aspect of planning, securing, supporting, and delivering events of all sizes in Scotland. At its core is its vision and mission. By being the perfect stage for events, our mission is to sustain and develop a dynamic, resilient and responsible events sector that is recognised as a global leader and valued for its contribution to Scotland’s wellbeing economy. This is to be achieved through the delivery of a world-class, diverse and inclusive portfolio of cultural, sport and business events.

Scotland first published the National Events Strategy in 2008 in response to the country’s increasing potential to be a global leader in the events industry. It was then updated to cover the period 2015 – 2025. The impact of this consistent and sustained focus on developing Scotland’s events sector has been transformative, to the point where Scotland’s reputation as a global events leader is well established. This capacity has not always existed, but instead has been specifically targeted, developed, invested in, and grown. It has delivered vital economic, social and cultural value for Scotland, and Scotland The Perfect Stage 2024 – 2035 seeks to maintain this positive momentum during the period ahead.

Scotland’s Event Industry Advisory Group (EIAG) was established in June 2020 at the request of industry and in partnership with Scottish Government and EventScotland (part of VisitScotland). Initially the purpose was to provide a clear and coordinated voice for the sector to help inform and direct the Government response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Subsequently the EIAG has gone on to provide an important forum for industry engagement, consultation and collaboration to inform and shape future events policy and priorities. The EIAG now has a vital role on behalf of the sector and wider Team Scotland partners to oversee the successful implementation of the strategy.

In my role as VisitScotland’s Senior Events Industry Engagement & Development Manager I work closely with colleagues, including in EventScotland (also part of VisitScotland), to prepare and deliver an annual programme of events industry engagement and development activity aligned to the delivery of the National Events Strategy.  In 2024 that included a lead role in the update of Scotland The Perfect Stage, delivery of the National Events Conference, a series of Regional Event Industry Engagement Workshops, a programme of Event Industry Observer Tours, and numerous Event Industry Webinars. I am also responsible for the coordination and secretariat of the Event Industry Advisory Group and its Strategy Sub-group.

It was an unexpected but very pleasant surprise to receive the Best Support to the Event Industry Award at the 2024 NOEA Awards in November and I am very grateful for the nomination and to the judges for their consideration.

Working with many colleagues across Scotland’s events sector and beyond is hugely rewarding. The sector thrives on creativity, collaboration and innovation which has ensured Scotland is the events powerhouse that it is today. The passion and determination of our sector to provide unforgettable experiences which showcase the best of our country is something to be celebrated.

A LAWYER WRITES

Retire or not to retire!

I confess to enjoying my (semi) retirement but am amusing myself by helping out whilst colleagues are on leave (or double-booked) and keeping an eye on things in general and “Martyn’s Law” in particular. As I write (in December 24), the amended Bill is slowly working its way through Parliament but judging by the actions of some Local Authorities, one might be forgiven for thinking that it is already in force.

Reports include one about a Village which was forced to cancel its Christmas fete as the Council were insisting on road closures manned by SIA or an authorised Traffic Management Company, this apparently to prevent a terrorist attack using a vehicle. Quite apart from the not-so-minor fact that the event would be “outside scope” for a variety of reasons including it being an “open event”, the risk of such an attack must surely be minimal and the response completely disproportionate.

Other reports include the cancellation of Council arranged Fireworks events in 2025 on the basis that they cannot afford the cost of searching every single person attending (they even suggested that it would be necessary to install metal detecting loops).

The event would be “in scope” but again, the risk is minimal and the reaction completely unreasonable on the grounds of cost, the practicalities of implementing the measures and of course, “proportionality”.

It is clear that there is no realistic prospect of any Act coming into force much before mid 2026 but it is already clear that event organisers and suppliers are going to have their work cut out persuading Safety Advisory Groups and Licensing Committees that this is not about eliminating all possible risk but, as with all things, taking a measured and balanced approach. I guess I may have to come out of retirement to help… Philip Day

A unique 1920s themed event within the UK motoring calendar, billed as a tribute to the days when Yorkshire’s beaches were the setting from some of the early land speed record attempts, it’s a truly unique spectacle that thrilled vintage vehicle and motor racing enthusiasts, coastal visitors and local residents For more information on events delivered and supported by Visit East Yorkshire visit visiteastyorkshire.co.uk or follow our social media channels. With over 15,000 visitors across the weekend the event generated over 500k to the local visitor economy. The weekend also features a static auto show, containing vintage and classic vehicles displayed, the steampunk festival in Bridlington Spa, entertainment, street food, stalls and more!

EVENT WINE SOLUTIONS

Aluminium Cans vs Recycled Plastic Bottles

At Event Wine Solutions, we are committed to supplying wine to events in the most environmentally friendly way possible, so the topic of ‘Aluminium cans vs recycled plastic bottles’ is something we have spent time and resources considering carefully.

From a circular economy perspective in the events industry, re-use is generally the superior choice for packaging and we are pleased to have witnessed the increase of reusable cups and other packaging at events. However, for a wine vessel this is not possible or practical for the foreseeable future due to the operational complexity of sending bottles back for washing and refilling. As a result, the next best option is a closed loop disposable packaging choice.

When referring to ‘closed loop’, we mean packaging that can be produced from recycled materials and at the end of life can be recycled back into new packaging to be used again. The goal is for this cycle to continue for as long as possible, ideally infinitely.

We have considered both aluminium cans and recycled plastic bottles, alongside other packaging options, and concluded they are both the best possible choices to meet the requirements for closed loop packaging. After careful evaluation and consultation with sustainability professionals, we have concluded there are benefits and drawbacks to both formats, with no clear winner or loser, hence our decision to offer our customers both choices. Both options support the circular economy alongside meeting the practical requirements of the packaging.

Our customer research shows that people buy more wine when it’s packaged in a 750ml bottle format – this is due to the familiar, traditional winesharing experience it provides compared to a singleserve can option. That’s why most bar operators opt for this format as their lead item on the wine menu.

In conclusion, we are aware than no single packaging choice is perfect, but our extensive research shows that our current solutions are the best available options at the moment. We also know this is an ongoing and evolving concern and are continually researching and reviewing our options to ensure we are pioneering the best solutions. We hope one day to see our wine in renewable bioplastic bottles or reusable packaging and will continue to champion the circular economy and sustainability as core aspects of our mission.

Attended by a wide array of event professionals, the meeting provided a forum for discussing key topics shaping the events sector, focusing on safety and compliance, operational excellence, and the evolving needs of clients and contractors.

This meeting featured a stellar lineup of speakers, each bringing unique perspectives and invaluable insights, making the session a highlight of the exhibition.

HSE: Regulatory Updates for the Events Industry

The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) set the tone for the event with a keynote presentation covering the latest updates and regulatory developments impacting the events industry. The session delved into strategies for ensuring compliance with evolving health and safety standards, particularly on managing risks in complex event environments.

Benefits of ESITS: A Client’s Perspective

Richard Bradshaw shared compelling insights into how ESITS enhances event delivery from a client’s perspective. He highlighted the role of ESITS in instilling confidence through rigorous training and certification, ensuring that on-site teams adhere to the highest safety standards.

Benefits of ESITS: A Contractor’s Perspective

Andy Nutter of Acorn Events brought a contractor’s viewpoint, shedding light on the tangible benefits of ESITS for teams working on the ground.

Benefits of ESITS: A Health and Safety Perspective

Marilla King-Smith spoke passionately about the impact of ESITS from a health and safety standpoint. Marilla

highlighted that ESITS training plays a pivotal role in mitigating risks, reinforcing the program as an essential investment for any organisation committed to safety excellence.

Introducing the Guild of Tentmasters

Adding a new dimension to the discussion, Alex Prideaux introduced the Guild of Tentmasters, working alongside ESITS in an initiative designed to elevate the standards of tented structures within the events industry. He outlined the combined mission to provide a professional framework for tentmasters, supporting skill development, safety awareness, and innovation. The introduction of this initiative was met with enthusiasm, reflecting the industry’s appetite for collaborative solutions and continuous improvement and compliance.

A Platform for Collaboration and Growth

The ESITS Industry Interest Group Meeting at The Showman’s Show 2024 succeeded in its mission to provide an engaging, informative, and forward-thinking forum for the events industry.

RICHMOND EVENT MANAGEMENT: WEATHERING THE STORM

Two extremes, gaining 5 minutes rest, in the shade of our production office at the Bristol International Balloon Fiesta to dealing with a rain damaged awning on my caravan at the Blenheim International Horse Trails.

Weathering the Storm:

Adapting Outdoor Events to a Changing Climate

Many of us have seen how the unpredictable nature of the UK’s weather can define an event. From relentless rain to searing heat, the challenges of delivering outdoor events are evolving. The argument is clear: global warming is amplifying the stakes. The question isn’t just whether the weather is unpredictable, but whether we’re witnessing a profound shift in our seasons and climate. This shift was evident over the last couple of years during two major events we managed: the Bristol International Balloon Fiesta in 2022, where soaring temperatures reshaped the event entirely, and the 2023 Blenheim International Horse Trials, where heavy rainfall tested our resolve. These experiences offer a glimpse into how event organizers must adapt to the changing climate.

Too Hot to Handle:

The Balloon Fiesta

The Bristol International Balloon Fiesta in 2022 presented an unprecedented challenge: extreme heat. Temperatures soared, making it unsafe to hold the traditional evening firework display and restricting balloon flights to the cooler mornings. The risk of ground fires and heat exhaustion among staff and visitors became central concerns, requiring on-the-spot adjustments to the schedule and safety protocols. Managing this event highlighted the growing importance of considering heat as a significant risk factor. Shade structures, hydration stations, and revisiting the timing of activities became essential, demonstrating how our profession must rethink event design in response to rising temperatures.

Too Wet to Work: The Blenheim Challenge

In contrast, the 2023 Blenheim International Horse Trials faced significant rainfall during its load-out phase, transforming carefully planned logistics into a battle against mud and water. Grounds that supported months of preparation became waterlogged overnight, challenging the movement of heavy vehicles and equipment.

To mitigate damage, we deployed temporary tracking, rerouted vehicles, and collaborated with the estate’s custodians to minimize environmental impact. Real-time weather monitoring was critical, allowing us to adjust operations hour by hour. This experience underscored the importance of flexible contingency plans, strong stakeholder communication, and resource adaptability.

A New Era for Outdoor Events

These contrasting challenges are part of a larger pattern. The UK is seeing wetter winters, hotter summers, and more extreme weather events, all exacerbated by global warming. The event industry must now prepare for a wider spectrum of scenarios, often within a single event cycle.

Looking forward, sustainability must sit at the heart of these preparations. We need to:

• Invest in weather-resilient infrastructure.

• Incorporate climate monitoring technologies.

• Adopt eco-friendly materials to reduce our environmental impact.

• Plan for new risks, from wildfire prevention to flood management.

Global warming is not just a backdrop to outdoor events; it’s becoming a central character. The traditional “seasons” we’ve relied upon are shifting, demanding that our strategies, budgets, and designs evolve accordingly.

Lessons in Resilience

The Bristol heat and the Blenheim rain were extreme opposites, yet they shared a common thread: the resilience and ingenuity of teams under pressure. In both cases, challenges became opportunities to innovate and learn. Its something we in the event industry are very good at.

Outdoor events celebrate the power of human connection against the backdrop of nature’s unpredictability. As the climate changes, so too must we. By embracing flexibility, sustainability, and forward-thinking strategies, we can continue to deliver events that thrive in any weather—rain, shine, or something entirely new.

THE FAIR: 10 YEARS OF FESTIVAL AND EVENT PRODUCTION…

10 ways to get it right

A lot can happen in 10 years, especially in the world of events. Independent festival production company The Fair has worked across thousands of festivals and events, delivering unforgettable experiences for audiences.

What started as a two-man team in Birmingham has since grown to over 30, producing the likes of Eastern Electrics, Maiden Voyage, RecFest UK & USA, Boiler Room (London and Miami), and Jazz Café Festival in 2024.

The Fair also developed two sister agencies – We Are Placemaking and We Are OPS, allowing them to expand into new areas such as event safety training for global marketing companies and producing public realm events for property developers.

CEO Nick Morgan said: “We simply wouldn’t be where we are today without the insight adopted by the wider team. Here are some key learnings from them.”

1. Never assume. Assumption is the mother of all f**k ups

“Even the most basic elements of an event need to be checked so that everyone knows what’s happening when and who’s responsible for it. If you assume that someone else is doing something, you can guarantee they’re not, and that will come back to bite you…”

– Rob Dudley, Director

2. Everyone on site is needed to build the village

“It takes a village to build a festival – to ensure your village is kind and everyone is enjoying their time on site. We all get stressed, but these are the people you lean on when you need the support.”

– Millie, Production Director

3. Don’t be afraid to ask for help

“You’ll be surprised how quicker things get done and problems get solved when you’re not trying to do it on your own.”

– Hanna Davis, Account Director

4. Our field is unique in its unpredictability

“If things don’t go as planned, it’s not a failure. We excel in our ability to troubleshoot on the spot, in an environment where many factors are beyond our control.”

– Jan Rankou, Senior Operations Manager

5. Produce an event as if you’re not going to be there

“Something will always happen on site that hasn’t been planned for but with this way of planning, it means you can give your time to the current thing that needs to be solved.”

– Will Garner, Senior Event Producer

6. Respect is key

“If you don’t treat people with respect, your career in the industry is likely to be very short lived.”

– Cornelia Hammarlund, Senior Production Manager

7. We never work in isolation

“Use the wealth of knowledge around you to find solutions. Use your plans as a base and prepare for things to shift off course.”

– Liberty Taylor, Production Manager

8. There is strength in agency

“One of the greatest strengths when using a production agency is that we learn things over the course of the season and implement change as we go along, rather than having to wait a year to put learnings into practice…”

– Nick Dann, Junior Production Manager

9. Our industry is full of curveballs

“It’s important to stay open-minded and calm when things don’t go as planned.”

– Louis Bloomberg, Production Assistant

10. Keep Innovating

“Stay updated with industry trends, experiment with new ideas, and take calculated risks. Adapting to changing audience preferences will ensure festivals stay relevant and successful.”

– Nick Morgan, CEO

SIMON STEWART AND THE CHEESE AND CHILLI FESTIVALS

The Inspiring Journey

Simon Stewart’s culinary passion took root in 2014 when he conceived the first Cheese and Chilli Festival in Christchurch, England. What began as a humble event has blossomed into a vibrant celebration of food, camaraderie, and community spirit, profoundly impacting the local festival scene. Over the years, Simon’s commitment to celebrating culinary excellence and his love for the eclectic flavours of cheese and chilli have paved the way for remarkable growth in both attendance and scope.

The inaugural Cheese and Chilli Festival in Christchurch captured the hearts of food enthusiasts, showcasing a delightful array of artisanal cheeses paired with spicy chilli-infused products. This unique concept blended culinary exploration with local craftsmanship, drawing visitors not only from the surrounding areas but also from further afield. The event was an immediate success, prompting Simon to consider expanding his vision. By 2019, the festival had grown to encompass seven different events, each uniquely tailored to highlight local talents and promote artisans.

However, like many event organisers, Simon faced significant challenges due to the COVID-19 pandemic. With large gatherings on hold, the Cheese and Chilli Festivals were put on pause. Yet, in adversity, Simon found opportunity. Recognising his expertise and passion for community events, he was invited to join various event committees in an effort to diversify and enhance the local events landscape. Simon took on leadership roles in several initiatives, including the Highcliffe Food & Arts Festival and the Guildford Lions Firework Fiesta. He played a key role in developing the New Forest Food Festival and

contributed to the Christchurch BID’s Food Festival Local. Throughout these ventures, Simon continued to nurture and maintain the award-winning Cheese and Chilli Festivals, ensuring they remained a cornerstone of the local culinary culture.

For Simon, working on these festivals has been more than just a job—it has been a “labour of love.” His dedication to fostering community engagement and support for local businesses has been evident in every festival he touches. By bringing together food producers, artisans, and passionate attendees, Simon has cultivated an environment where culinary creativity thrives, and community spirit flourishes.

The Cheese and Chilli Festivals have become a quintessential part of the local culture, drawing not only food lovers but also families and tourists eager to experience the vibrancy of these culinary celebrations. Each year, participants have the chance to sample a vast array of cheeses, savour spicy dishes, and engage with local producers, all within the backdrop of lively entertainment and community camaraderie.

As we look beyond the pandemic, Simon Stewart’s vision for the Cheese and Chilli Festivals and other community events continues to evolve. His resilience and adaptability during challenging times have ensured the survival and growth of these cherished events. With each festival, Simon contributes to a greater sense of community, helping to uplift local businesses while providing joy and memorable experiences for attendees.

Simon’s journey is a testament to the power of passion and determination, illustrating how one person’s vision can not only inspire but also foster community and celebrate local culture. As he moves forward, the Cheese and Chilli Festivals stand as a beacon of culinary celebration, a joyful reminder of the creativity and resilience found at the heart of community gatherings.

EVENTS CREW: EXCITING NEW SITE

As 2024 winds down and we head into 2025, Events Crew, the Somerset based logistics and event suppliers are once again celebrating a momentous year which saw them move into their new 20,000 sqft facility with over 10 acres of outside storage and saw a host of new items added to the kit list.

Events Crew are based in Henstridge in Somerset, some 25 miles from Glastonbury and the new purpose built facility including open plan office spaces, crew rooms and showers, 4 storage bays and plenty of outside parking represents the start of a new chapter.

Brent Mitchell, owner of Events Crew, comments: “our new purpose built facility, designed around the business is much needed. Through our expansion we outgrew our last premises and pushing forward over the next 5 years, a new base was central to those plans.”

The new base comes with internal and outdoor storage areas and combined with the already numerous outside yards provide a huge array of storage options including for over 40,000 fence panels and feet.

Events Crew, have also updated their stock with the addition of New Trime Tower lights in their signature red colour.

Events Crew have long offered tower lights, either from their own fleet or from third party suppliers including Trime, but this significant investment allows for much more focus and flexibility in this growing market sector.

Whilst in previous years, Events Crew have based primarily around the events market and 2024 was no different, supporting Ironman, World Para Tri, EPC Conference, Liv Golf, and numerous marathons, it also saw a shift into supporting stadia with their infrastructure.

Stadiums, often host the pinnacle of sport and most people can name several in the UK whether the home of

rugby, the home of Cricket or the home of football, not to mention the home of their local team. However, stadia also require a level of quality to ensure their reputations. Events Crew have been working with stadiums to provide high quality, new or as new equipment for their queuing systems and all round infrastructure, including Wembley and the Utilita Bowl.

With the new Tower lights in place, Events Crew are setting up their own passport system for each one. This fully trackable software will be able to give a complete history of the machine and its working throughout the season. This will allow for a complete breakdown of usage, hours, fuel consumption allowing for accurate pricing and ensure that each machine is in prime condition as it goes from client to client.

Each light will get a full check both before it arrives at site and once it leaves. If going from site to site, this will ensure that all lights and equipment are in good working order and if necessary removed back to the main depot and a replacement sent ensuring much better piece of mind for clients.

Alongside this, Events Crew is proposing a new housing structure for tower lights, this includes modifying containers to house 12 Towerlight units at a time. This will ensure that they are kept out of the elements and kept looking their best. This also will allow for better on site security if lights are hired over multiple weeks at a location but not needed all the time. By securing the light in this fashion this gives the customer piece of mind as the lights and with ever increasing costs, the fuel is also protected.

CARFEST: LIVE EVENTS WILL KEEP YOUR BUSINESS BOOMING

Luke Perry, CarFest’s Commercial Director, explains how live events will keep your business booming

At a time when marketing budgets are stretched thinner than ever, businesses of all sizes are enjoying something powerful and effective: human connection.

While digital and print advertising remain valuable tools, live events offer something that pixels and paper can’t replicate – the magic of in-person connection.

The digital dilemma and live event advantage

Of course we love digital marketing, the ability to track clicks and optimise campaigns in real-time is not to be scoffed at. But these channels are just the start of what’s possible when you step into the world of live events.

Instead of hoping your social media catches someone’s attention, at a live event you’re having a face-to-face conversation with people wanting to discover what you offer, and you know this because they walked over to you.

When selecting a live event, it’s crucial to choose one that aligns with your target demographic.

Content-rich family festivals attract engaged, lifestyle-focused consumers. With a live event you know that the visitors are interested because they’ve bought tickets, and they trust the event organisers to bring in relevant businesses.

Live events don’t just complement your existing marketing efforts – they amplify them.

Here are six simple reasons why:

1. Ridiculously easy content creation

At family festivals, authentic brand content creates itself. Every product demonstration and customer interaction become opportunities compelling imagery that resonates far more than staged studio photos ever could.

2. The magic of shared experiences

There’s something special about witnessing the joy on people’s faces during a live event. Perhaps it’s colleagues experiencing their first family festival or new customers engaging with you – these moments of joy are impossible to fake.

3. Authentic influence beats paid posts

While influencers can drive awareness, they can be expensive. Yet we are surrounded by influencers every day, your sister telling you about an EV she’s test driven, neighbours raving about their air fryer or your children telling you they love a certain toothpaste (just checking you’re still there).

Are you more likely to buy into a product because a stranger danced on TikTok, or because your friend hasn’t stopped raving about it? Wordof-mouth marketing generated from live events continues long after, because memories are made.

4. Conversations and connections

One of the most overlooked benefits of live events is their offer of onsite business connections. That casual conversation with a fellow exhibitor often turns into a game-changing partnership.

5. Maximising event impact

The true beauty of live events lies in their versatility because every interaction is an opportunity for a business to:

• Offer demos and provide samples

• Tailor customer conversations

• Gather testimonials

• Track attendance and engagement

• Collect valuable lead information and conversion rates

• Improve offering from gathered feedback

• Monitor social media impact in real-time

6. The hidden bonus: employee engagement

Last but not least, when staff members interact directly with customers and they see the impact of their hard work, it increases motivation plus at family festivals, they enjoy entertainment alongside visitors.

Making the investment worth it

Of course, live events require investment, but when you consider the returns – from sales, content creation, data capture, market research, long-term relationship building plus employee engagement – the value is clear.

CarFest takes place at Laverstoke Park Farm from 22nd to 24th August 2025. For more information, please get in touch with Luke at lukep@carfest.org

DINES FOR VENUES

What a cracking year 2024 has been for us here at Dines! It’s been a privilege to work alongside so many top-notch teams, using our EPOS system to support all kinds of events across the UK and Ireland. From music festivals to food fairs, the range of events we’ve supported this year has been inspiring… so needless to say, we jumped at the chance to shout about a few of our highlights!

We’ve had the pleasure of assisting a variety of major events in 2024 such as the prestigious Royal Highland Show in Edinburgh, Taste of London, Dublin’s Christmas Spectacular, Motorcross of Nations in Winchester, and many, many more. Each event had its own unique challenges and setups, and we made sure to work closely with every department from Operations to Finance, to ensure everything went off without a hitch.

Aside from specific events, our team were also focused on creating tools to make everyone’s day-to-day that much easier. The introduction

of Vouchers allowed event teams to streamline processes such as Crew Catering, giving festival staff simple QR codes to use for meal payments. At the same time, our Enhanced Reporting tool put vital data at trader’s fingertips, offering every report they could ever need in one handy dashboard. And by the way, that’s just the beginning. Our system has seen countless other improvements in 2024, fuelled by the feedback and needs of our clients. To list them all would far exceed the word limit for this article, but we are exceptionally proud of what we have helped our clients achieve.

As we look ahead to 2025 (hasn’t the year flown by?!), we are fully committed to evolving the Dines for Venues app, and learning from every event we support. Each partnership we have shapes how we grow, and we’re excited to keep discovering innovative ways to help our clients put on epic events!

PHOENIX EVENTS (EAST) LTD: contributions to the Living Wage Foundation

In a time where the cost of everything is on the rise, and many people are feeling the need to make thier money stretch even further, Security and events company Phoenix Events (East) Ltd have become off of the few companies in Norfolk to have accredited as a living wage, living hours, and living pension employer.

These three accreditations were all developed by the Real living wage foundation, in an attempt to bridge the gap between the governments minimum wage, and the actual amount of money it costs to live.

The Real living wage is an optional hourly rate, reviewed yearly, designed to increase in line with inflation, and is the only rate that is calculated through the genuine cost of living, based on an average cost of goods and services.

Employers who choose to pay the Real living wage report seeing the advantages across their business almost immediately, with increased staff morale, lower staff turnover and absence rates, with many saying they feel it instilled feelings of “value” and “respect” among even the lowest paid individuals in the company.

The Real Living wage works hand in hand with its sister accreditations which are Living hours and Living Pension. These two schemes further ensure that the staff who benefit the living wage are supported by more than just their hourly rate.

With Living hours ensuring that staff are provided with regular work and plenty of notice, allowing them to plan, and living pension meaning that employers are contributing a good amount to see their staff looked after in the future.

Phoenix Events (East) Ltd are active supporters of the Living wage foundation, as well as members of the Norwich Living wage action group, which is a group set up to spread awareness and encourage other businesses and employers to adopt the accreditations into their organisations.

November saw the annual “Living wage week” as action groups across the country put on events to show their support and advertise their work with the foundation.

At the Norwich event, Phoenix Events’ Director of Operations, Anna Ryan delivered an address highlighting the benefits of being a triple accredited employer, supported by accounts and testimony’s from her staff.

The sentiment was echoed at events across the country as these events proved to again be very popular this year.

Phoenix are incredibly proud of their triple accreditation and are excited to continue their work of promoting the real living wage and its sister accreditations.

SHEFFIELD HALLAM UNIVERSITY

Can temporary plastic flooring and event carpet really be sustainable and add to the circular We are thrilled to have been awarded the Best University Events Management course by NOEA.

But what is an Events Management degree and what do we do at Sheffield Hallam?  We teach a blend of theory, strategy, and practice to create industry-ready event professionals.  We have been teaching Events Management for 20+ years and have over 2000 graduates across the globe working in a variety of careers, including marketeers in Dubai, conference managers in Australia, and show managers in Malvern.

We teach theory, operations, policy, planning, design, H&S, sales, finance, marketing, HR, and leadership, and we cover the whole industry from business events and marketing to cultural and sporting.  However, we understand that Events can’t solely be taught in the classroom and therefore, at the heart of everything we do is industry experience.  As part of the course students plan, design, and deliver a conference, they undertake real-life client briefs, and pitch, plan, and host their own events.  Many of our team still work in industry and take issues we face in our event roles into the classroom and students can gain industry qualifications such as IOSH and personal licence as part of their modules further preparing them for industry.

Final-year students plan, design, and deliver an event of their choice for charity, with no start-up funding, testing their entrepreneurial skills.  Over the last 10 years, our students have raised over £400,000 for local good causes.  Hosting events which are their passion means students develop their skills in a sector they are interested in, past events include gala dinners, triathlons, gin tastings, boxing matches, and abseils.  During the pandemic our students still hosted events, switching to virtual delivery with murder mysteries, cook-a-longs, and gin tastings taking place.

Our students also have the opportunity during their studies to gain industry experience from local charity events to national conferences and international festivals, therefore putting into practice what they’ve learned in the classroom.  Immersing students in the industry is key to ensuring our students can pursue their dream careers no matter their background. Every summer we take 80 students to Leeds Festival to work in a variety of roles. Students can work as part of the Helpful Arena Team or undertake weeklong internships as a backstage intern and artist liaison.  In their final year, they can take on a month-long internship working in licensing.  Students love the experience and opportunity to gain a real insight into festival planning and operations.  Final year Ben said, “My favourite moment of the course is Leeds Festival, the whole team is brilliant, my course has helped me build my skills and confidence, but Leeds is where I put everything I’ve learnt on the course into practice.”  Second year Louise said, “the course has meant I get opportunities like this, I’d have never thought to do something like this otherwise”.

Our Events Management degree offers students the opportunity to develop their strategic knowledge, skills, and networks whilst also gaining real-world industry experience, making them well-rounded and industry-ready professionals.

Our students are interested in the event industry and wish to progress into a career in events. The programme gives them a deep dive into what it is like to operate in the industry from its current leaders, and allows them a back-stage look at many different aspects of what being an event professional entails, with a focus on areas you don’t typically learn about in traditional education. The programme includes set learning and training tasks for them to complete as they progress through the course, until they graduate from the programme. The ultimate goal is to inspire and encourage the next generation of event professionals, and to start them off at an unparalleled high standard. The programme has a particular focus on outdoor, music and festival events; with contributors such as Craig Mathie, Becky Stevens, Lindsay Impett, Nick Rusling, Charlie Mussett, Rick Stainton, and contributing organisations such as Organise Chaos, INVADES, Eventree, and Bournemouth 7s Festival.

Tiger Tea Events / TTK Welfare

Linda Krawecke, Manager Manager info@tigertea.net

A successful event will want to look after the needs of their customers, particularly those who may be having difficulties or are in distress. No matter how small or inconsequential an individual’s problem may seem to you, to them it can be quite a “”big deal””. Having someone who will not only listen to their problem but help in trying to solve it will make all the difference to their event experience. This is where an event welfare service can offer support. The welfare team can offer them help to best resolve their situation. A welfare service may also offer Safeguarding support by supplying certified and vetted persons who will mind a child found without a parent, keeping them calm in a safe space. But a proper

safeguarding service goes beyond minding “”lost kids”” into overseeing the safety and welfare of all minors under the age of 18 who are vulnerable and could come to potential harm through alcohol or substance misuse, neglect or abuse. The welfare team can support any vulnerable young person and ensure that they receive help and understanding. We are able to support persons with mobility or access needs in an event setting including in an accessible campsite or on a viewing platform. We also understand and support those with a neurodivergence who need a place to shelter or be heard when they need assistance. The welfare tent is a place for recovery.

Zeros Power Ltd

Tom Redman Owner save.us@zerospower.com www.zerospower.com

Zeros Power specialise in zero carbon power for temporary events for a similar price to a diesel generator equivalent. With a growing demand for environmentally responsible power solutions, we have designed and built a zero carbon power system to meet the requirements for outdoor events industry. We have sets that are equivalent to a 30kVA generator that can run 24hrs with zero emissions and virtually no noise. It’s not a secret that the Events Industry uses a lot of temporary diesel power. The Events Industry can achieve a much smaller carbon footprint – literally right now! We’re here to show you how with our Zero Carbon event power.
