Rock-it Global, a GCL (Global Critical Logistics) company, is the headline sponsor of the TPi Awards 2023 – making it the first freight company to be the top sponsor for the industry’s vanguard awards event.
“We have seen signs that the live events industry is coming back in full force after a lull during the pandemic,” said Justin Carbone, Executive Vice President Live Performance Touring, Rock-it Global.
“A lot of bands who could not tour in 2022 are now geared up and booked for even larger tours for 2023. With most of the world opening up their borders, coupled with a backlog of bookings, demand is easily set to exceed pre-Covid levels in the coming year.”
Rock-it Global is a speciality freight forwarding and logistics company that brings together over four decades of experience in the live entertainment logistics sector.
“We have managed to retain and grow our talent, as well as ensuring adequate up-to-date training, to be able to match the new surge in pent-up demand post pandemic,” said Chris Palmer, Managing Director, Rock-it Global UK.
“TPi Awards present the perfect opportunity for Rock-it Global to acknowledge the hard work that goes on behind the scenes in the live entertainment industry and show the world that we have come out stronger than before as an industry.”
Rock-it Global, along with the other logistics specialists of GCL, provides logistics and freight forwarding services for the live entertainment and music touring, theatrical, fine arts, sports, motor sports, corporate events, film, television, and broadcasting sectors.
Rock-it has operations in 14 countries throughout North America, Europe, the Middle East, Central and South America, Africa, and Asia Pacific regions, augmented by more than 200 international partners.
As a key part of the live events and touring industry, Rock-it is heavily invested in an Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) program which aims to make a positive impact on our employees, our customers, and the planet.
TPi Awards 2023 will be held at Battersea Evolution, London on the 27 February and will pay tribute to the best in the live touring industry.
