Company
The company began business supplying personnel as stage crew for musical concerts. Business has expanded to incorporate the provision of personnel for all areas of the cultural sector, from corporate events to large scale public events and festivals.
The company undertakes very little advertising as its client base has arisen through word of mouth and reputation, and it now provides stage crew and security personnel covering an area stretching from Sheffield to Scotland.
The company has grown from employing a few people to having on average 500 employees available to fulfill contracts. Contracts are held with many of the local councils and football clubs. And we also supply the event industry UK wide.
EVENTCOVER is a unique company in that we can service an event in its entirety, providing scaffolders, stagehands, riggers, steelhands, security, staging, catering and wardrobe, forklift truck operators and production assistants.
