John Robson, MD of Aztec Event Services, Alexandra Bailey MD of Creative8 and Mark Clayton, MD of InEvexco discuss tops tips for tackling health and safety issues in this month's issue of Hospitality & Events North magazine. 

The ESSA Annual Awards are back this November and promise to be bigger and better than ever before as they set the stage to celebrate even more of the sector’s finest talent.  

The importance of health and safety in the world of events can’t be overstated. Everyone involved in delivering an event, from organisers and venues to suppliers and contractors, has a legal responsibility to provide a safe environment for those working on site and attending the event.

Event Supplier and Services Association (ESSA) celebrated success at this year’s AGM reporting substantial growth in membership numbers which have significantly surpassed the previous pre-pandemic benchmark level.
