What it’s like to work in the Team

The team thrive in working in a fast-paced environment where no 2 hours are the same.  We're always up for a challenge and easily adapt from working a small-scale gig one minute to a massive stadium show the next, with a multiple date arena tour thrown in for fun.  We love being out and about onsite meeting our customers and seeing our hard work and dedication pay off.  The team listen and learn but aren't afraid to challenge others.  We have a passion for music, gigs and technology.  We spend a lot of time working with numbers, learning systems, juggling priorities, problem solving and playing with seating plans, but we do it with a bucketful of laughs and the most eclectic playlists.  The job can be busy and the pressure can be on but we've always got each other’s backs.
