The Event Supplier and Services Association (ESSA) has announced Air Business as its new strategic partner, with the partnership commencing on 1 April 2026.
Air Business is an award-winning global logistics and technology company, trusted by many leading organisations within the publishing, events and e-Commerce sectors and widely recognised for delivering precise, reliable and frictionless logistics solutions.
This new partnership reflects a shared commitment to raising standards, improving operational efficiency and supporting a more sustainable and professional events ecosystem.
Air Business is already closely aligned with ESSA’s mission, having achieved ESSA Tier 4 Sustainability Accreditation, which is one of the highest levels attainable. The company also plays an active role in shaping industry best practice, with representation on ESSA’s Logistics Working Group.
Andrew Harrison, CEO of ESSA, said:
“Air Business combines deep operational expertise with a clear commitment to sustainability and continuous improvement. Their approach aligns strongly with ESSA’s focus on raising standards and supporting our members in delivering high-quality, responsible event services. We are pleased to welcome them as a strategic partner at a time when the industry is increasingly focused on efficiency, transparency and long-term value.”
Through this partnership, ESSA and Air Business will work collaboratively to support members with practical insight, thought leadership and enhanced visibility of best practice across logistics and supply chain operations.
Lenka Booker, Global Event Logistics & Transformation Director at Air Business, said:
“We are delighted to have been selected as ESSA’s strategic partner. The association plays a critical role in representing and strengthening the event supply chain, and we share a common goal of improving how the industry operates. From simplifying logistics processes to embedding sustainability into delivery, this partnership provides an opportunity to shape the future of the sector.”
Adam Sherman CEO of Air Business commented:
“It is a great honour to be selected as ESSA’s new strategic partner in this exciting growing sector for our business. It was a pleasure to host the board here recently at the Beacon and to meet the team.”
Air Business offers a comprehensive range of global logistics and technology services across event logistics, e-Commerce logistics, subscription management and print distribution, underpinned by a customer-first approach. As part of An Post, one of the world’s leading postal organisations with revenues of over €1 billion per annum, the company combines operational independence with the backing and security of a state-owned organisation.
This strategic partnership marks a further step in ESSA’s commitment to working with best-in-class organisations to support its members and strengthen the wider events industry.
