Introduction With over 10 years’ experience, we are industry leaders in providing festival bars for events of all sizes. Our reputation is based on a quality, accountability and a professional service. During that time we worked on a wide range and breath of UK festivals including; The British Summer Time Concerts in Hyde Park, Glasgow Summer Sessions, Bestival, Secret Garden Party, Shakedown Festival, Bingley Music Live, Field Day, RockNess, Camp Bestival, Henley Regatta, T4 on the Beach, Lovebox, Hevy Festival, Led Festival, Red Bull X fighters, Cowes Week, Metro Weekender, Eastern Electrics, Circo Loco, Shakedown and many more. One of the other sides to our business is to build and manage “pop up” bar environments which can last between 1 week to 3 months, past projects have included The Moose bar in Canary Wharf, The Moose in Manchester Spinning Fields and The Feast Restaurant and Bar as part of the Brighton Pavilion Ice Rink. We are committed to the continual process of making the event a safe and pleasant environment for the public to enjoy themselves through effectively managing the sale of alcohol. Our responsible drinking policy is focused on meeting the 4 licensing objectives to ensure the consumption of alcohol is carried out responsibly at all times during the event. We do this through the following methods; Training Whenever possible we employ Personal License Holders to manage our bars in the addition to all senior management having Personal Licenses (Peppermint Bars and Events are now a fully recognised training centre by the BIIAB) We will carry out briefings prior to the event opening and throughout the event for all bar staff on the licensing objectives and the measures in place meet them. The mechanics of how and where the initial briefings will take place are currently being discussed once we have decided on the best way to implement this; an update will be sent out. Information We communicate the issues regarding the responsible sale of alcohol in a number of ways including briefings at the beginning of every shift; we also issue every member of staff with an info lanyard, please see appendix A for an example of this. We operate a strict Think 25 policy, implemented through briefings, signage for staff and the public. Recording of refusals Following advice from the Police we will implement a system to record refusals that ever member of staff has access to. These will be on every till point which we call a “station”. A station in one of our bars comprises of a maximum of four serving staff and one till operator. It will be the responsibility of the bar servers to complete this register, the till operator’s will not be required to complete this register as they will not be directly dealing with customers. An example of how the new refusal registers will look like the example appendix B. The Responsible sale of Alcohol We do not offer any drinks promotions over the bar and we price our drinks appropriately as not to encourage large orders or heavy drinking by individuals. We only serve wine and spirits according to the weights and measures act of 1985 please see appendix C for a copy of the signage we will display in our bars.

Event Managers – Reports to Project Manager (Berin Johnston) The Event Manager supporting the project manager in every aspect of the bar operation from build to show days - to the last vehicle leaving site. There will be a team of four highly experienced event managers who have a minimum 3 years of experience managing large scale events for Peppermint. Each of these event managers will be allocated a specific sector of the festival site for build and live days. This is a well-tested working practice we use at large scale events and ensures that detailed, direct oversight of a small number of venues & bars on a large site is achieved at all times. They are all experienced in working in sensitive and challenging environments such as London Parks, city centre green field sites. It goes without saying they are fully experienced with the latest H & S legislation, site safety guidelines and PPS, provision of First Aid and numerous plant operator licences between them.

Martyn Owen, Head Staffing Manager – Reports to HR Director (Adam Hempenstall) Peppermint Staffing is a subsidiary company of Peppermint Events which is overseen by Martyn Owen. Martyn has worked with the company for the past 8 years and has helped develop the vast database of staff from bar servers to senior management. Martyn will work with a team of two staffing managers and staffing assistants who have worked for Peppermint for several years. Pre-event the staffing managers organise budgeting, transport, welfare, rota creation, meals and accreditation. On site their role is critical as they are responsible for ensuring that each bar has its correct allocation of staff - but more importantly - is constantly walking around site to ensure that staffing levels are maintained and when any bar is under pressure staff are quickly moved to combat this. This role happens very much in the background – but is critical to the service we provide, being pro-active to ensure that staffing levels match the crowd flows around site.
