Posted on Thursday, May 29, 2014

Rob Donovan working for DC Site Services at Glastonbury Festival

With the start of the summer festival season upon us we'd like to remind all of our event staff that now is the time to make sure your DCSS PAAM event job applications are all in order!

Please remember to keep track of the events and festivals you have applied for, remembering that if at any point you are no longer able to attend to please cancel your application, ensuring that you give the required notice period as per our Terms and Conditions.

Please note that the cut-off date to cancel a Glastonbury Festival position is this weekend; as you need to give 20 days' notice to cancel a position and the start date for Glastonbury as advertised on our website is 21st June 2014. Having said this, we of course hope that you do attend and we look forward to seeing you at Glastonbury!

If you'd like to join us working at Glastonbury we do have a small number of vacancies left but will be closing the application at the end of this weekend so please apply to join us ASAP!

If you have been assigned a job with DC Site Services at Glastonbury, please make sure that you log into your profile to confirm your position.

We'll again be running the DC Site Services staff shuttle bus at Glastonbury Festival! You can find an info pack with further details in the Glastonbury Event Info section of your DCSS PAAM profile. Please contact us if you would like to book a seat on the shuttle bus.

If you are arriving before the shuttle bus starts you will need to make alternative travel arrangements e.g. a taxi from the station to festival site.

Finally, as always please ensure that your DCSS PAAM profile is up to date, including a photo, all entitlement to work in the UK documents and your P46 form for 2014.

I wanted to write personally to say a huge thank you to you and your brilliant team for all your hard work to enable to deliver, in such a short space of time, a wonderful Royal Windsor Horse Show.

When we started the planning, we honestly had no idea whether we could or could not run and had so many changes it must have made it almost impossible for your team – however as always they adapted and overcame the many hurdles that we presented, with a smile and a complete can do attitude and many people are saying that it was one of the best show’s that they have ever been to.

Everybody I have spoken to has said how fantastic the cleaning was and that the loos were immaculate, and the showground looked as good on the last day as it did on the first day – which is exactly what any organiser strives to achieve. Nothing was ever too much trouble and everything was delivered with a smile. Your cleaners were tremendous once again. Even with the date change and the added bonus (!) of COVID everything was delivered on time.
