CONSULTANCY

Continental Drifts offers event consultancy services for a number of clients who can manage the event but need help with their planning. We can undertake feasibility studies through to supporting licence applications and liaising with local residents. Clients for this service have included Battersea Power Station. On Blackheath, Festival 2012 and We Are FSTVL.

For Battersea Power Station, Continental Drifts carried out a full health and safety and disability access consultation and created an overall management plan for the open house event.

With the On Blackheath event, Continental Drifts wrote all the initial event management and transport plans for the licence application. When the event was subsequently taken over by Harvey Goldsmith we continued working on the event as consultants for the 2014 show.

For Festival 2012, Continental Drifts director Mel Wilds was employed by the GLA as the East London creative producer to develop touring programmes for the Mayor of London’s ‘Summer Like No Other’ programme. Mel worked with the production teams to develop touring schedules and budgets, liaising with local authorities in the host boroughs and working with torch relay teams to support creative content.

Continental Drifts was employed by We Are FSTVL back in 2012 to assist with sourcing an event site and applying for a licence for this huge 14,999 capacity dance music event the following year, running 11am-2.30am. We pulled together a team of experts and created a robust event management plan, rated by the police and the licensing committee as the best they had ever seen.

“The work Continental Drift carried out on our licence application was nothing short of exceptional. Their expertise in this field is second to none and every supplier lined up to support our application was the best in the business. For a hassle-free life in event planning, look no further than Continental Drifts.”
