I can’t find the post now but a few months back one of you was asking how to get into event work ?
A very good friend of mine from the event company I drove for when I lived back there is now looking for good drivers and workers based around the Oxford / Bicester area, you don’t have to hold an HGV licence but it obviously helps.
PM me if you are interested.
I’m guessing he’s looking more for a worker than a driver then
cheap labourer
I do it…I do hardly any manual work. That’s what crew are for…FACT!

cheap labourer
Not so, I earned more money on that job in a year than I did working full time at Tesco and the job was really great fun, it’s hard work setting a show up but then you get paid for basically relaxing for a few days. Gave me a sense of pride and if I were single and back in the UK I would be on the job again.
When I was between jobs I did some rigging (what a learning curve) for an event company, it was go go go but a buzz, the drivers where ermmmmm slightly more chilled
pat I work in that line of business and would jump ship if the conditions were right
But I presume its a labourer they want not really a driver ?
I do Europe at the moment on events but only as a driver although do help out with setting up etc but its very minimal.
PM me with details if you don’t mind
A lot of what I do is hanging around at or very near the venue. I rarely have to load or unload. You need to have plenty to do whilst the events are in place, because days can be very long indeed.

Now who’s going to back down first
Ned did PM me actually, when I worked there under the old company I was a driver / events operative, it involved setting up whatever hospitality trailer I was pulling, if there was any heavy work we used agency workers from what ever town we were in, or a group of us would work together. I didn’t regard it as ‘Cheap labour’ it gave me a sense of satisfaction once it was set up and running and got me a lot of praise from customers and a lot of perks, even cars for the duration of the shows, free of charge with full tanks.
