Statement from the Directors of Europa International due to COVID-19

Following the UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson's announcement on the evening of Monday 4th January 2021 we have had to make further predictable adjustments to our working practices. We like all UK businesses have been closely monitoring the seismic impact that COVID-19 is having on our business, colleagues, customers and business partners alike and we will continue to forge on in accordance with the guidance.

As a non-essential organisation in these unprecedented times, the Directors took the inevitable decisions to suspend our operations throughout both Lockdowns and we continued to observe the Tiered restriction protocols as were previously mandated. We are very much aware and respectful of the Government's new message for a third national lockdown to combat the rising transmission rates & too allow the vaccination program to make progress within the UK. As citizens and businesses it is our duty to still play our part to protect the most vulnerable in our society and to enable us to protect our treasured NHS.

Following the successful completion of the 'All Secure Expo' prior to the announcement, we are geared & ready to commence the recovery phase when we are legally able to... The Government has announced that when we emerge from our Industry wide closure/lockdown it will be in context of the well-crafted EIA (ESSA, AEV, AEO) 'All Secure Standard'. As we carefully endeavour to create the 'new normal', it is our intention to fully service requirements for all events where restrictions allow, whether they were postponed shows, new iterations, already within the logistics diary or entirely new green shoot events.

We will subsequently continue to have a staggered skeleton office & operations crew available & they will be contactable throughout the extended lockdowns & any tiered systems that will inevitably apply. They will offer the prerequisite operational and pre event support normally required on contact@europainternational.com (in the initial instance the crew sizes are heavily reduced & office staff will be working from home with the obvious restrictions that this brings, so please do allow extra time for a suitable response... Thanks in advance for your support on this).

This will be reviewed on an ongoing basis & importantly we will act in accordance with the Lockdown/Tiered protocols & the EIA (ESSA, AEV, AEO) Guidelines which are fully endorsed by the UK Government (after many months of concerted effort!).

We like many others are confident that we can shape the new working landscape together & we shall collectively overcome... It is just as well that we find ourselves in an Industry where creativity, tenacity & resilience are the cornerstones of what make us who we are... plus we all love a challenge!

We look forward to renewed growth and success together in the near future & really appreciate your patience and understanding.

We whole heartedly wish all of you, your families & companies a safe journey as we begin to navigate our way through this together!

Please stay safe & bring on the recovery!!!
