Putting your mind at rest...

Safety First: 

Your child's safety is our primary concern. 

We have stringent safety protocols in place and maintain secure, supervised workspaces. Our facilities are designed to minimise risks and ensure a safe environment for all participants.

For learners under 18, we conduct thorough young person's risk assessments to address their specific needs, ensuring a safe and supportive learning experience. These assessments identify potential risks and tailor safety measures accordingly, including additional supervision or resources as needed. Your child's safety and peace of mind are our top priorities.

Experienced Guidance:

Rest assured that your child will benefit from the guidance of seasoned industry professionals, 

each boasting an impressive track record in their respective fields. Our dedicated team brings years of hands-on experience to the table. They possess a deep understanding of the intricacies of sound, video, projection and staging. Throughout the work experience program, our team will offer support and mentorship, ensuring that your child's journey with us is not only enlightening but hopefully a source of inspiration. We are committed to sharing our knowledge, providing valuable insights and igniting your child's passion for the world of live events and technical production.

What Will They Actually Be Doing?

During their time with us, your child will have hands-on experience of the fascinating world of theatre and events,

with a primary focus on our warehouse operations. Here's a more in-depth look at what your child can expect during their work experience:

While some tasks may seem repetitive, we are definitely not the glamorous side of the industry, they all contribute to maintaining the consistently high standards our customers have come to expect from us. It's about providing your child with a holistic realistic experience that prepares them not just for the theatre and events industry but also for life's diverse challenges.

What will They Learn?

These experiences will equip your child with valuable skills that extend beyond the workplace and will serve them well in their studies and other endeavors. Additionally, if your child's school or college has specific elements of the curriculum or program of study that would align with their time with us, we are more than happy to collaborate closely with them. Our aim is to provide a tailored experience that harmonises with their educational goals, making this work experience as enriching and relevant as possible to their academic journey. We are committed to ensuring that your child's time with us contributes to their personal and educational development.

Open Communication:

While we primarily liaise with the schools/colleges, your active support, encouragement and involvement are vital

to the success of your child's work experience, just as it is with their education. We understand that communication is key, especially in case there are any concerns, questions or specific needs that arise during your child's time with us.

Our commitment to open lines of communication ensures that we can promptly address any issues and work together to provide the best possible experience for your child.
