What eventcentre.ie does

eventcentre.ie, operating under the legal entity Seating & Access Contracts Ltd, is an Irish-headquartered provider of event infrastructure and management services founded in 2009. The company supplies tiered seating, staging, event overlay, access scaffolding, and modular temporary structures to event organizers, sports federations, broadcasters, and local councils. Its two proprietary platforms — the CView tiered seating system and the EC-Build modular building system (built on a 10x10m grid that scales to International Broadcast Centres, VIP spaces, and emergency response shelters) — anchor the technical offering. The group identity spans Seating & Access Contracts, DJV Eventcentre, and Tall Order Structures, and the company maintains an inventory of 102,785 sq ft of deployable structures supported by 21 emergency response crews and 12 project managers, with reported project delivery across Europe, the Middle East, Australia, and the USA for clients including Sky Sports, BBC, PGA European Tour, IRFU, FAI, Ryder Cup Ltd, Aiken Promotions, and Red Bull Marketing.

Revenue is generated primarily through project-based professional services fees for the design, engineering certification, mobilization, and on-site installation of event infrastructure. Two additional hardware-revenue streams have been added more recently: the SAFE-DISTANCE Bluetooth proximity monitoring solution (distributed in partnership with Reactec) and HYVE work-from-home office pods (sold through an Ecwid-powered e-commerce store). A separate Emergency Response division offers 24/7 rapid-deployment temporary medical and command facilities. The go-to-market is sales-led and direct: dedicated project managers respond to enterprise inquiries via contact forms and phone, with bespoke scoping for each engagement. Distribution to consumer/SMB buyers is limited to the HYVE e-commerce channel, while the core services remain enterprise-contract based with no publicly disclosed pricing.

Between 2020 and 2021, the company executed a deliberate diversification pivot in response to the COVID-19 disruption: it launched the Emergency Response division, SAFE-DISTANCE workplace safety product, EC-Set Dome for TV/film production, and CityBOOTH urban street furniture, alongside the HYVE distribution partnership. These moves extend the addressable market beyond live sporting and cultural events into construction safety, TV/film, hospitality, and municipal infrastructure, although the core business remains project-based event services.
