About

Our Production Associates support our Production Managers and Senior Production Managers, providing them with logistic and admin support in anything from virtual events, activations, roadshows, to conferences and festivals in the UK and around the globe. Cool, right?

All our Associates from levels 1-3 are put on an intensive learning programme to help them become fully-fledged Production Managers- this will include undertaking courses, on-the-job training, and being mentored by one of our fabulous team members.

The role will often require travel within the UK and abroad, and a need to work flexibly across time zones to meet the needs of the project or client. A suitcase, a passport, and a clean pair of pants are essential parts of any Production Associate’s kit.
