Last weekend we delivered our two‑day, in‑person Supervisor Course ahead of a busy festival season 🎪

The group showed real commitment to developing the leadership, communication, and decision‑making skills that sit at the heart of safe, well‑run events.

We worked through practical scenarios, operational standards and delivery, industry guidance and the expectations we set for supervisors representing us on site, especially as we move into our highest‑tempo period of the year.

It’s always great to see confidence grow across the two days, and to watch future leaders step up with the professionalism our clients rely on 🙌

A huge well done to everyone who attended. Your development directly strengthens our delivery as we head into festival season 👏

On Thursday, we had the absolute pleasure of working at Freight Island, one of our regular venues, for the official MOBO Awards after party! 🥳

With the MOBO Awards being hosted in Manchester this year, during their 30th anniversary, it was a huge moment for the city. The MOBOs aren’t just another awards ceremony, they were created to celebrate and elevate music of Black origin, recognising genres and artists that have shaped the cultural landscape but haven’t always received the recognition they deserve. To be part of something with that kind of legacy and impact was incredibly special for us.

Our team showed up in true A-team style, looking sharp, professional, and ready to deliver. We couldn’t be prouder of the standard they brought on the night.

We’d also like to recognise what a milestone this was for itself. Hosting an event of this calibre is no small feat, and it was amazing to see the venue rise to the occasion.

A special recognition to Mikele Corzato and Stephanie Gianfriglia from the venue management team for their hard work in planning and delivering the event.

A truly standout moment for everyone involved 🙌
