Corporate Events Plus

Another month goes by without a live business event, sporting events are on the rise, festivals are being confirmed and yet conference and exhibitions are slow to return. International travel is still uncertain due to the ever changing traffic light listings by the government. The government guidelines are not helping our industry regarding meeting indoors for business so it is frustrating to see crowds of football fans gathering in close groups.

This month I have been working in a different industry and was involved with repossessing a hire lorry where the payments had not been met for sometime so the vehicle had to be taken back. Waiting for the vehicle to be cleaned out before driving it away back to the company who owned the vehicle was awkward but necessary. So many people affected by the pandemic.

I am concerned for our industry – each week another name in the industry has retired, left for pastures new or just plain given up – tough times indeed.
