Showlite Ltd ESSA Membership No: 132
January - December 2008
ESSA represents over 200 companies who service the Event and Exhibition Industry in the UK and Worldwide.
ESSA Members incorporate a variety of different services to meet the needs of organisers and exhibitors. Their services range from stand design to cleaning and from flowers to electrics. ESSA Members are fully aware of the problems facing Exhibitors, Organisers and Venues and are available to assist with any strategic planning and logistical problems they may encounter.
ESSA encourages and develops highly professional standards for its members and is confident that these standards will be maintained due to the vetting procedures Contractors are subjected to before becoming ESSA Members. All members must meet the Associations Standards of Workmanship, Service and Business Practice.
One of the many benefits of appointing ESSA members to handle Exhibition work is the “ESSA Bond*” which guarantees work inthe crucial build up period to a show in the event of a Member being taken into liquidation. Any contract falling within the scope of the Bond cover would be completed with the assistance of the Association and its other members.
In practice, if an ESSA Bond Member employed by you went into liquidation and work was outstanding, ESSA would either appoint another Member to meet the terms of the contract, or reimburse you for completion of the contract arranged by you subject to the limits of the original contract. The ESSA guarantee* applies to all work done in the United Kingdom and covers the period of seven days prior to the Exhibition build-up through to the Exhibition itself.
The ESSA Bond is underwritten by a major Insurance Company. If you would like further information on the bond, please contact ESSA at the address below. *The guarantee is subject to policy terms, conditions and exclusions*.
