Common questions
What is event operations management?
It's the practical running of an event: site build, production, schedules, crew, safety and logistics, so the show runs to time and to plan.
Do you supply crew?
Yes. We can supply and manage production and site crew, or work alongside your existing suppliers.
Can you work as a promoter rep or on behalf of a touring company?
Yes. We've worked as promoter representatives and in event operations roles for Live Nation and Endeavour Live.
