This is our van - it hasn’t been out on a job since March 11th and sits as a daily reminder of the unprecedented situation we find ourselves in. Tonight we join event professionals from across the globe to #LightItInRed to raise awareness and drive change..... #wemakeevents

An open letter to Boris Johnson & Rishi Sunak supported by 334 member companies. We are calling for a time-limited package to save our sector & 1000s of UK jobs. Read the letter here essa.uk.com/images/Coronav… Our message is clear: #BackViableJobs #wemakeevents #projectrecovery

Rishi Sunak interesting “Ask me anything” LinkedIn session today. I reckon over 50% of Q’s were about the revival of the UK Exhibition, Conference and Events industry worth £70billon. Not one question answered. Attached picture compares UK to Europe and events. #WeMakeEvents

It’s time to open up with safety measures in place - just like any other work place eg UK House of Commons

COVID-safe events have taken place successfully across Europe: - MICE event Heavent Meetings - Caravan Salon Show Messe Düsseldorf - ITALIAN EXHIBITION GROUP's Grand Lodge 2020 meeting The UK events industry is being left behind. Boris Johnson we need support! #ProjectRecovery

...viable businesses impacted by government closure decisions get targeted support, however, exhibitions companies have been forced to close since March.We are seeking urgent clarity from the government as to whether these latest measures will be applicable to the events sector

🙈🙉🙊 #WeMakeEvents

The £70 billion event industry is being called upon again to support the NHS Nightingale effort.. It HAS BEEN absolutely pivotal in the UK's COVID-19 recovery.. It CAN BE absolutely pivotal in the UK's economic recovery.. but we must act now to protect it! #ProjectRecovery
