The Event Services Association is a trade body representing those in outdoor events who are keen to encourage good practices and standards across the industry. A key objective of the Association is to bring together event organisers and those who supply and support the sector with the objective of encouraging good practice while also creating a positive environment for members.
Whether it is voicing concerns and/or encouraging a sensible approach for legislation at Government level, or providing help and advice to organisers, TESA at all times acts with the aim of supporting the interests of its broad membership.
TESA is an active supporter and member of the Events Industry Forum, which publishes the Purple Guide. Indeed, Director Jim Winship is Secretary of the Forum and co-ordinates its publication.
