Futures Sponsor
As the first Future’s Supporter of the National Outdoor Events Association, we are delighted to support the mission of this year’s conference to look at the Commercialisation of the industry.
Despite the high standards set by NOEA members we continue to see examples of bad practice and mismanagement that jeopardises the success of events every single day. The future of this industry depends on a strong, stable and reliable supplier chain, contributing to robust event businesses.
We look forward to the conference and supporting event professionals looking to make their events pay.

ACT (National) Ltd is a professional health & safety consultancy operating across a wide range of events both in the UK and across the globe.
We provide Health & Safety solutions that are tailored to the client, their business, and their budget!
Health & Safety in the events world is viewed by some as an obstacle to creativity.We prove that this is not the case.We apply sensible and pragmatic solutions to every event we work on.
We believe that behind every great event there should be a professional safety team. We become part of those teams by providing top level strategic event safety consultancy for some of the world’s most prestigious sporting, music and regional events.Our focus is always the UK events market, but we have established great business relationships across the world, and we combine our global experience to reduce costs, enhance the service delivery, and therefore assist our clients to deliver the safest event possible.
A.C.T. provides support, advice and knowledge, enabling our clients to get on with their core tasks, confident that we will develop a complete safe system of work, that dovetails into the overall event management plan. We communicate and liaise with our clients and other stakeholders (emergency services, local authorities, etc.) to ensure safe plans are delivered at a strategic and operational level to everyone’s satisfaction.
As a futures sponsor, ACT sees working with the NOEA in the future as an exciting time.It is an opportunity to be able to provide the association and its membership with more opportunities for accessible and affordable training and consultancy.
Although the events we work on are wide and varied, and span the globe, we never forget our roots.The local village fete is equally as important to ACT, compared to the biggest sporting and cultural events on the planet.From our perspective, the principles of safety are the same, they just have to be applied in different ways.

Lance Show and Publications Ltd, organiser of the Showman’s Show will once again be supporting the National Outdoor Events Association (NOEA) Awards later this year, following confirmation of its sponsorship of the ‘Event Supplier of the Year Award’ at the annual celebration.
Lance Show and Publications Ltd and NOEA continue to work in partnership for the good of the outdoor events industry and supporting the awards encourages excellence and best practice. The ‘Event Supplier of the Year Award’ recognises companies that have demonstrated quality in supplier customer relationships that have added value to events.
“Lance Show and Publications Ltd has been a tremendous supporter of the NOEA Convention & Awards for some time and we’re delighted to be welcoming them again come November,” comments Andy Grove, Interim-President, NOEA. “Last year we had Michael Eavis (Glastonbury) and James Heappey (Chair of the All Party Parliamentary Group for Events) join us, and it’s going to be another stellar celebration again this year.”
Jeremy Lance, director of Lance Show and Publications Ltd comments: “The Showman’s Show is the UK’s most comprehensive show for the outdoor and special event industry so it makes sense that we support organisations that are also working to improve standards across the board. NOEA works tirelessly supporting outdoor event suppliers so there is plenty of synergy between us. We’re very pleased to lend our support to the NOEA Awards 2017 and already looking forward to the event in November.”

Once again, Event Wine Solutions is thrilled to be an award sponsor at the 37th annual NOEA Awards, especially as NOEA has been such a great friend and ally in the history of the business.
The vision of Event Wine Solutions was to use our extensive knowledge of the wine industry to create ranges of wines in unbreakable PET bottles that would answer the outdoor event industry’s call for a high quality wine offer on sites where glass is banned.
However, with no events industry contacts, reaching out to this new market was a real challenge. That’s where, through a fortuitous meeting at The Showman’s Show with NOEA chief executive Susan Tanner, the chance to open up a new network of industry contacts presented itself.
Proud members of NOEA ever since, Event Wine Solutions has benefited hugely from the friendly welcome extended by other members, resulting in many new clients and the credibility of being associated with these events industry professionals.
