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 just wanted to send out a big thank you to you and your team for all the work you and the team put into helping make the traffic and transport operation work so well this year.

As it was a pleasure having DC site services as part of our team. I think the GFEL team of contractors is the envy of a lot of events in the way we all support each other and it was noted by some observers that stated the following :- 

"simply put, GFEL’s off-site traffic management plan was delivered and managed in a totally consistent and defensible manner that sought to promote good practice, collaboration and road safety to the benefit of all road users."

The DC are big part of that delivery and should take some of the credit for that delivery.
