Lessons learned from previous events are carefully incorporated into the planning process, while consistent and open communication with Norfolk County Council and all event staff ensures smooth coordination on the day.
During the events, our trained personnel manage hazardous materials responsibly, packing them safely and keeping them away from public areas. The team engage with residents to provide practical advice on the safe handling of materials, and ensures the site is fully cleared when the events end. We also integrate sustainable practices, such as donating waste paint to a local charity, providing a practical reuse solution in line with the waste hierarchy.
