Catching up with Ed Hawker!

Posted on Wednesday, June 17, 2020

In previous weeks we’ve caught up with DC regulars Dan and Summer, and then Dave and Jane. This week we’re catching up with Ed Hawker who you may know as DC’s Operations Manager at the Office, or as the shouty person on the radio onsite at Glastonbury or Leeds festival.

Ed has used his time to focus on his family by home-schooling and going for bike rides with his son, Harrison, and by stretching those green thumbs of his to lend his dad a hand in the family gardening business. Not only has he revamped their website, but many a bushel and shrub have fallen victim to his strimmer. No hedge, plant pot or lawn is safe.

We’d love to know what you’ve been up to. Have you picked up any new skills or discovered any new hobbies? (though simply getting by under these trying circumstances is an achievement in itself.)

If you’d like to share how you’ve made the most of your time, please get in touch with the office and we’ll help you to give a virtual wave to the rest of the crew we know you’re missing!

Keep safe and be well.

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.
