September Highlights – From Exhibitions and Concerts to Advanced Training and Community Impact
EXHIBITIONS
As Autumn bursts into full swing, September brought a whirlwind of excitement to the NEC Halls with some fan-favourite shows like the Autumn Fair, Emergency Show, PPMA, and Solar & Storage Expo.
These events attracted thousands of attendees, and our dedicated crew was right in the thick of it, assisting with stand building, van loading and unloading, and ensuring smooth transitions. Our convenient short- and long-term storage solutions alongside our onsite postal address, made life easier for our clients during the hectic build and breakdown days.
TRAINING
On the technical front, our recently licensed team members received advanced training in operating the powerful 18T forklift and the boat tug—crucial heavy machinery used to move massive 10-ton seating units around the NEC campus. This complex, high-risk operation, often carried out at night, demands precision, planning, and a highly trained workforce. It’s a testament to our commitment to training that we continue to meet tight deadlines and execute challenging operations.
ARENA WORK
Over at the arenas, we had a stellar lineup of unforgettable performances, including Matt Rife, the adrenaline-pumping Giants Live, Karan Aujla’s, the Paralympics Homecoming event, Texas, Jonas Brothers, Melanie Martinez, Diljit Dosanjh, and Janet Jackson. These massive names from the music and entertainment industry brought the house down, and our skilled crew was there every step of the way, assisting the technical teams at Utilita Arena Birmingham and BP Pulse Live with seating staging, ensuring these world-class events ran like clockwork.
A major highlight for us was being contracted by Warner Music UK Ltd. to provide stagehands for Melanie Martinez’s fascinating show. Our crew had an incredible experience, gaining new skills and pushing the boundaries of their expertise.
Flooring:
And that’s not all—September also saw us expanding our inventory with new flooring stock, soon to be available for hire. Stay tuned for more on that front!
Community and Network:
And last but not least, we had our very first Sponsors Board Meeting for ‘The Power of Events’! It was an incredible experience being in the room with event professionals who share our passion and belief in the transformative power of events. Together, we’re on a mission to expand this dynamic industry and inspire the next generation of talent – because the future of events belongs to them! Let’s make an impact!
With October on the horizon, we’re gearing up for another action-packed month. Exciting things are on the way—watch this space!
