It's B Corp month and we have BIG news... 🥁🥁🥁

WE'RE B CORP CERTIFIED! 🎉🌍💚

And what's more? We're the first UK events crewing company to achieve certification!

After 20 years of doing things differently as a social enterprise, it feels incredible to say we're a Certified B Corp as well.

Our score of 103.8 reflects everything we work towards day in, day out - putting our all into using business as a genuine force for good.

Good for people.

Good for planet.

This is a proud moment for all of us.

Not because it gives us a badge, but because it backs up the work our crew and office team do every day.

It holds us to the highest standards.

It challenges us to do better.

This one also belongs to our ESG, Data & Communications Manager, the driving force behind our application. She led us through the process from start to finish: deep in the detail, diving into every area of the business, pushing standards, asking hard questions, redefining 'good', and seeing us through to certification.

We can't wait to see where the journey with this amazing global community we've joined if we tried!

If you're a B Corp putting people and planet first...

Happy B Corp month! Let's get together and do some good! 🙌✨

We're a proud social enterprise, and today is — a moment to celebrate and spotlight the brilliant work social enterprises are doing across the UK, including Connection Crew.

So... what is a social enterprise? 🧐

At Connection Crew, we... crew!

We're providing an essential service to many industries — setting up, running, and taking down events, stages, sets, you name it. We're prepping your venues, building your stages, moving priceless artefacts for a museum in the evening, then rigging truss in the morning on epic stages.

And the really awesome bits?

🙌 While we're taking your plans and making sure everything's in place before attendees arrive, you're helping us to do good! Every hour means London Living Wage paid work and long-term change. 🙌

At least 25% of our hours every year are worked by our Impact Crew — people affected by homelessness. We then reinvest our profits into creating more opportunities for training, mentoring, building skills, and living wage work! 🤯

For 20 years, we've been showing every event can be a force for good, from build to derig.

So, for us, being a social enterprise means whether we're loading a truck, striding across a festival stage or setting up a small community event, the work we do powers social impact far beyond the job itself.

What's more, 98% of our clients are opted-in to our Carbon Levy: pennies per appointment which account for unavoidable carbon emissions.

We call it having social and environmental impact — built in 😉

Thanks to Social Enterprise UK for setting this awesome challenge to shine a spotlight on social enterprises today!

💚 Celebrating 20 years of partnership, purpose, and great people.

We’ve been proud to crew events and operations at Potters Fields Park for years — a not-for-profit that’s just marked 20 years of caring for one of London’s most loved public spaces.

💬 “Site managers are always diligent and efficient. We receive regular praise for CC staff from our clients.”

As Connection Crew also turns 20 this year, we’re celebrating more than milestones together.

We’re celebrating collaboration — and the shared values that make our work special: trust, teamwork, and community.

It's an honour to once again be named on the SE100 list, an annual celebration of the UK's 100 most impressive social enterprises.
