Safe Events Global
We are Event People who specialise in Safety. Our professional passion is keeping people safe at events. We do it well.
Greetings from the beautiful desert in KSA.
A huge swathe of our team has decamped to the Kingdom to help deliver Soundstorm, XP Music Futures, ATP Tennis at the Onyx Arena as well as a range of other events.
We're working alongside some of the absolute best at what they do and that always makes us happy.
There's still a lot going on otherwise, with tender bids being submitted for things we'd love to work on,
The team at Safe Events Global
Kris Dailly regularly works with us here in Safe Events Global and leads on many of our international projects.
KD is particularly adept at making H&S work on challenging projects with their own particular nuances and requirements.
He's a goods photographer too!
He wrote the article below recently, which is worth a read, especially for anyone getting into or thinking of getting into the industry.

Our friends over at NOWIE - The Network of Women in Events CIC are running their Level Up Mentorship Scheme for the 3rd year.

Or do we like it?!
Rupert Bassadone ???? and the team over at Event Site Design had this post up a little while back.
It's about people taking naps while working.
There was a survey done and it's definitely a thing!
? Do you take naps while 'working'?!
? What do you think your boss would think?
Crew food is important
I wrote this post recently entitled Crew Food at Events: a Critical Consideration and, as pert of a little research for it, I put up this LinkedIn post.
I got sent some pictures of some TERRIBLE crew food.
Lord.

The picture below is one such example. . .
A perfect match
UL Sport and Triathlon Ireland have teamed up to launch the National Triathlon Centre.
UL Sport is a client - full disclosure and we've done a lot of work down in Limerick at the University over the years for them and UL Student Life as well as UL Clubs & Societies.
Collaborations like this are superb to see and bode well for the future prospects of our elite triathletes.
You can read about it here in a post from Brian King , Director UL Sport.
That's a big one. . .
Marc Tubee, MSc, CertIOSH and other regular members of our freelance team Eric Kant, MSc and Claire GISSOIT MSc recently worked with a competitor of ours on the Dubai Run.
278,000 participants in a mass-participation event isn't small by any means.
The scale of events out in the Middle East never ceases to amaze.
We are nearing time to open doors next week for Soundstorm here in KSA and the scale of this one still hits me regularly.
Bigger isn't always better but the challenge and complexity of events like these, when you do what we do, is always fun.
We didn't get the gig. . .kind of. . .
We did a pitch to work on an international event recently.
We were very happy with what we put forward and we felt we suited the client and the project perfectly.
Then we got the bad news.
The delivery model our client put forward to the organisers wasn't being adopted.
They LOVED our pitch but the gig, as designed, wasn't proceeding anymore.
It's in a little bit of limbo now.
It may come back again and there may be a different delivery model that gets developed and an opportunity may arise to pitch for that as a new opportunity.
That's how it goes, sometimes.
? When did something similar happen to you? Or did it?
