Crewsaders: Finalists at the Event Production Awards 2026
We are proud to share that Crewsaders has been shortlisted as a finalist in two categories at the Event Production Awards 2026. This recognition reflects the hard work, professionalism, and commitment of our entire company and crew.
This year, the Event Production Awards introduced even more competitive shortlisting criteria, with only 6-8 finalists selected per category. To be recognised in not one, but two categories, in such a competitive industry is a genuine honour.
Our 2026 Finalist Categories
- Best Crewing Company
- Health and Safety Award
These nominations recognise two areas that sit at the very heart of our mantra: reliability and people-first practice.
Best Crewing Company: Built on Reliability and Trust
For over 18 years, Crewsaders has supported live events across the UK and Europe, from festivals and concerts to brand activations, conferences, exhibitions, and major sporting events. Our reputation has been built on one simple promise: to show up, deliver, and do the job safely and efficiently.
2025 in Numbers
In 2025 alone:
- We delivered over 40,000 shifts
- Recorded just 7 no-shows
- Achieved a 99.98% crew attendance reliability rate
This consistency comes from investing in people, long-term relationships, and systems that support calm, solutions-focused delivery, even when plans change at the last minute.
Health and Safety Award: Putting Wellbeing at the Core of Safety
Our Health and Safety nomination recognises the work we have done to embed mental health and wellbeing as a core safety control.
Live events are high-pressure environments, and since 2023 we have taken deliberate steps to address psychological risk alongside physical safety. This includes:
- Deploying trained Mental Health First Aiders on-site
- Integrating wellbeing checks into risk assessments and fatigue management
- Creating a culture where support is accessible, visible, and stigma-free
The Results Speak for Themselves
- 34% reduction in on-site accident reporting
- 21% increase in early wellbeing reporting
- 0 reportable incidents linked to unmanaged psychological risk
For us, safer events start with supported people.
A Shared Achievement
These finalist nominations belong to:
- Our crew, who bring professionalism and care to every job
- Our clients, who trust us time and again
- Our internal team, who support crews before, during, and after events
We are honoured to be recognised alongside so many outstanding companies in the industry and look forward to celebrating with everyone at the Event Production Awards on 13 March at De Vere Connaught Rooms.
Thank you to everyone who has been part of our journey. This recognition is yours as much as it is ours.
