Behind the Scenes at Koncept Productions

Just because summer is over, doesn’t mean to work stops. Although we’re not on the road as much over the winter months, there’s still plenty to do to keep us busy.


So what is happening behind the scenes at Koncept?

The back end of a lorry is open with stage pieces and equipment inside, a member of the crew is standing amongst it.

Winter is a great time for us to check our kit. We need to check for damaged and lost equipment, to ensure we have a full stock ready to go for the new season. If any of it needs replacing, we need to order it in and fix anything that requires it. Maintaining kit is a big job especially with how much it gets used throughout the summer months. It’s important to stay on top of this as damaged kit could cause health and safety issues when it is next used.

The last few months of the year are also when event organisers start to get in touch with us for the following year. There’s a lot of admin work involved at this time of year, drawing up quotes and following up on enquiries to make sure we’re filling the diary for the following year. 


From a business perspective, it’s also when we plan for next year, including our marketing plan, budgeting and goal setting.


This year we’ve taken on the added task of moving premises, so the team are hard at work getting the warehouse ready for the big move.
