DC Site Services 2023 Pay Rates

Posted on Friday, November 18, 2022

Following the recent announcement regarding the increase to the UK national minimum wage, we’d like to clarify what it is you can expect from DC Site Services next year when it comes to your pay.

In early 2022, we made the commitment to pay 50p above the then national minimum wage, and we intend to continue to do this in 2023. This means that the new rate for all event crew will be £10.92 per hour plus holiday pay, £1.32, which will be a total of £12.24 an hour.

Despite all the perks that come with working at events and festivals, ultimately we understand that the rate of pay is a deciding factor when it comes to where you decide to set up your tent and dedicate your time during the summer. We value your time, and your experience, and hope to continue to work together for the foreseeable future.

I wanted to send a personal message of thanks to you and your team for all their hard work in assisting with the delivery of the broadcast recording at Whitby Abbey. 

From my perspective, I tried incredibly hard to impress on everyone involved in the production just how important it was to ‘leave no trace’ and I have been thrilled to hear the feedback that has suggested we were largely successful in that quest.  The way the venue was kept spotless and ‘sanitised’ is a credit to you and your on-site colleagues – so well done.

It was an absolute pleasure to work with DC Site Services again and both Frankie and I look forward to doing so again in the future.
