Showing our support for customers and friends in the live events sector
August 14, 2020
As a business that has years' of experience working across the events sector, Extreme Logistics is supporting the industry's campaign to raise awareness of the threat caused by COVID-19 and restrictions on 'mass gatherings'.
The events sector urgently needs government support to survive the COVID-19 crisis.
Without major immediate support from government, the entire live events sector supply chain is at risk of collapse. Red Alert is a campaign to raise public and media awareness in support of the live events sector which employs over circa 1,000,000 highly skilled people in the UK, all of whom have had no work for the past five months with little likelihood of restarting until Spring 2021.
The sector includes a huge supply chain of companies ranging from event production, audio, lighting, video, logistics, planning, transportation and some of the world’s leading technology manufacturers.
The campaign is being run by a large and growing industry collective of trade bodies, businesses and freelancers affected by the shutdown all working together. It spans online and social messaging, video, case studies and legal outdoor events to gain media attention. The aim is to have financial support extended for the people and companies in this sector until they can return to work.
The UK is regarded as a world leader in delivering complex events and we risk losing it forever. Extreme Logistics is happy to show support for the collective efforts to get the industry’s voice heard. #wemakeevents
