Derbyshire-based Harrier are contenders to win the award for the development, management and delivery of health and safety at festivals. This accolade is a great achievement for Harrier and they are shortlisted with Symphotech and We Are the Fair.
Managing Director of Harrier UK, Andy Smith commented: “We are delighted to have been shortlisted for ‘Best Health and Safety’ at the Festival Supplier awards! Effective Health & Safety is not about what you do; but about why you do it. Our services not only ensure people’s safety but also assist event organisers in creating an unforgettable, yet safe event.”
Harrier UK has worked at festivals such as Detonate Festival, Madness and Social Festival at Kent Showground and Sundown & Reload Festival at Norfolk Showground. As well as festivals, Harrier work on events within sports grounds such as Wembley Stadium along with smaller events such as firework displays.
