APRIL | SECTOR FOCUS
cost of parts and supplies is not
looking to drastically increase.
However, as the outcome is very
unknown it’s hard to forecast
what the effect on the business
will be. We are obviously hopeful
that whatever the outcome
there will be little change to the
fantastic event scene that the UK
has!
The future
The first hurdle will be to
negotiate Brexit, from this we
will then be able to see the effect
that Brexit has on the events
industry. The second hurdle
that we all need to clear will
be to have an open and honest
conversation as an industry on
our environmental impact. We
need to consider the distances
we drive, how we transport
goods, the use of chemicals
in loos, the disposal of waste
and as an industry how we can
innovate what we offer. There are
a number of ideas on the market
that need support from larger
event suppliers. As a industry
we have responsibilities to the
environment and these are
responsibilities that we should
face up to, not just to overcome
but also find solutions for.

ON SITE
Site Event exhibited at the
London Olympia for the Event
Production Show, showcasing its
newest, most environmentally
friendly product; 3 Bay Vacuum
Toilet Pods.
The unit is marketed between
a single plastic toilet and a luxury
toilet trailer, the 3 bay vacuum
toilet pods providing an efficient
and effective toilet for the mass
market.
Access caught up with Site
Event director Amy Gilbert to
talk innovation and staffing:
“The market is constantly
innovating to meet demand
of higher quality and more
environmentally friendly
products. We are pleased to
say that Site Event are at the
forefront, through developing
our latest product the 6 and 3 bay
vacuum pods, which are the most
environmentally friendly toilet
on the market, with a high end
luxury feel for the mass market.
You may have seen in the Fyre
Festival documentary that the
organisers forgot about toilet
hire until the last minute, do
you think this has raised more
awareness from organisers to
get the fundamentals sorted
before looking at the experience
focused services? Unfortunately
Fyre Festival isn’t the only
event to forget about ordering
toilets, we often get a last minute
phone call to say the organiser
has forgotten about the toilets,
however, we hope that the Fyre
Festival documentary has raised
awareness as to the disastrous
consequences.
She added that the comapny
are always on the lookout for new
work and part of this is tendering
for large contracts which has
been key to winning our new
business.
“More and more companies
are using this method of
procurement as they are looking
for quality suppliers.”
