EC&O SPREAD THE LOAD OF RIGGING

AS part of an on-going strategic review of the services offered to clients, Earls Court and Olympia (EC&O) have announced new arrangements for the provision of rigging services in their venues.
Following a competitive tendering process EC&O have appointed Unusual Rigging as exclusive supplier of rigging services for Earls Court, while at the same time awarding the Olympia contract to Outback Rigging. The contracts will be three-year rolling appointments, which will be reviewed annually.
Jon Sellins, Group Halls Director for EC&O, said: “We are determined to provide our customers with the very best levels of service and delivery. By appointing different companies we believe that we will be able to get real focus in each venue. Unusual and Outback are perfectly placed to provide the levels of service we’re looking for.”
As a new supplier to EC&O, Mark Surtees, Managing Director of Outback, was pleased with the appointment: “Olympia is an impressive venue and this contract is one we’re proud to have won. We’ll be working hard with EC&O to ensure that we deliver on the ground with their clients as well as in the air with their rigging.”
Alan Jacobi, Managing Director of Unusual Rigging, commented: “Earls Court is London’s premier exhibition space and we’re delighted to be reappointed, enabling us to focus on providing the very best service and support throughout the year to EC&O and its clients.”
Earls Court and Olympia are two of the UK’s leading event venues. They provide serviced space for organisers of exhibitions, conferences, concerts and special events. (GB)
