WHO WE ARE
Siteworks Live provides experienced operational leadership and support for festivals and live events across the UK — from build through to show and break.
CHARLIE CURTIS
Siteworks Live is founded and led by Charlie Curtis. An operationally focused events professional with a first-class degree in Events Management and over 7 years of hands-on experience at some of the UK's most prominent festivals and live events.
Charlie began his career on the ground as a Production Assistant and rapidly progressed into senior operational leadership roles, working directly under company directors across operations, logistics and marketing. He has since delivered or contributed to over 200 events — from 1000 to 100,000 capacity.
Having worked across Site Management, End-To-End Festival Operations, Accreditation, Bar Operations, Gate Management, Transport Coordination, etc., Charlie brings a well-equipped, multi-disciplinary experience that allows Siteworks Live to tackle a wide range of operational challenges with structure and confidence.
Siteworks Live was founded with a clear purpose: to give festival organisers and event companies access to senior operational expertise — without the overhead of a large agency.
