We don’t need to tell you that not one company was left unaffected by the upheaval of the pandemic and the difficult comeback year in 2021, instead, we’d like to take the opportunity to tell you how we as a company have used this difficult time to regroup and develop as a team, and what it is you can come to expect form us in the near fut read more...

With the Government’s announcement of the national minimum wage increase we’d like to clarify what it is you can expect from DC Site Services in terms of pay in the new financial year.
As you may be aware, in 2021 we made the decision to pay our crew at least 50 pence above any national minimum wage increase and we continued this into 2022. These are small steps in an effort to recognise the hard work of our crew, but they are years in the making.
Looking forward, from April 2024 the new natio read more...
We know that food and onsite catering can at times be a hot topic amongst crew, so we’d like to break down when to expect a meal provision at an event or festival, and why.
We’ll always tell you before arriving onsite via an information pack whether or not there will be food provided so that you may be as prepared as possible for your assignment. However, the best rule of thumb to use is whether the event has camping, how big the event in question is, and WHERE the event is.

Without a doubt one of our biggest expenses as a company is…UNIFORM. We estimate that by the end of the season, approximately 60% of that year’s uniform top-up is sitting snuggly in someone’s wardrobe at home, or in the boot of their car, forgotten and lonely. It’s time to reunite your uniform with its high-viz family.
If you have a jacket, tabard, or t-shirt with our NEW LOGO, please email the office letting us know what it is you have and how much, and we will send a pre-paid envelope out to read more...
