Event Operations and
Staffing Services
AS BUSINESS grows so too does the
team at Festivall Services. While the
name may be new to you, having
only formed in November 2021,
the company has been built on
the foundations of Josh Heyburn’s
first event business, Kent Event
Services (2017-2021), to deliver a
high standard of event operations
and staffing services to clients
nationwide.
Josh, managing director, and
Evan Morgan, office coordinator,
advertised to expand the team
recently to ensure consistency
for their staff and clients. While
the pair are based across Kent,
South Yorkshire and South Wales,
applications from across the UK
were welcome for a remote working
role.
When conducting remote
interviews, it was clear to the pair
that there was a need for a second
stage in-person interview. Festivall
Services connects people, and
how could such a connection be
established over a video call? The
pair took the progressive approach
to conduct second stage interviews
in the candidates’ home towns or
cities, where they could present
a brief tour before conducting a
follow up interview in an informal
setting. The candidates praised the
approach, which eliminated a need
for them to travel and put them in
an environment in which they were
comfortable and familiar.
As a result of the interviews,
Festivall Services is delighted to
welcome Jessica Wainwright to the
team as their new event staffing
coordinator.

Hirer Package
Deals From £1,583
LIKE MANY event and hospitality suppliers,
Rotherham-based Gala Tent is braced for a busy
peak season as the UK returns to its first summer
with no Covid-related restrictions in three years.
Add the thousands of delayed weddings that will be
taking place up and down the country to the mix,
and it promises to be a very lucrative time of the year
for professional and part time event planners and
marquee hirers, who are booking up well into the
autumn and beyond.
With this in mind, Gala Tent has relaunched its
exclusive hirer package deals, with prices from as little
as £1,583 ex VAT for two size options, luxury linings,
heating, lighting and heavy duty anchors. There are
different packages to accommodate new and existing
businesses, regardless of the size or type of event
they’re catering for.
The company has also launched an exclusive
digital marketing service alongside sister brand Gala
Education & Marketing, which aims to equip new and
existing event planners with the tools they need to find
the people that need their services, and maintain a
solid booking calendar for years to come
