EVENTS in FOCUS
“You could be forgiven for thinking the company was just focused on
standing up,” Managing Director Geoff Tucker said.
However this all changed in late 2015 with the acquisition of Australian
Seating Systems (ASS).
The ASS company was for many years the leading supplier and erector
of grandstand seating for major events such as Formula 1 Grand Prix,
Clipsal, Bells Beach and many other recurring Australian events.
“It made sense for us to look seriously at the Australian Seating
Systems business. We believed there were some great synergies and
we had a host of initiatives we thought could enhance the existing No
Fuss operation,” Geoff said.
The ASS business was brought in under the No Fuss umbrella and is
now known as No Fuss Seating Systems (NFSS) a division of No Fuss
Event Hire. The first major project for the new venture was the 2016 F1
GP contract.
“We tackled this with a new plan towards OH&S, updating the safety
and also the standard of our finished product,” Geoff said.
“The net result was a happier client and a great look for the product.”
No Fuss is now looking to expand the NFSS arm of the business and
has expansion plans to see this part of the No Fuss team become the
major force in grandstand seating.
NFSS is excited to be tendering for the 2018 Commonwealth Games
and within the company has expertise inherited in the acquisition,
from the 2000 Olympics and 2006 Commonwealth Games.
“This makes us a strong business with a depth of knowledge and we
believe this will be a winning package,” Geoff said.
“Although the new venture has retained the skills of the former ASS,
there is still plenty of room for improvement and new alliances.
“We have the runs on the board in terms of big projects in all of the No
Fuss divisions. We know our team can deliver beyond expectations
and are happy to look at jobs of any size, not just major events. We
are happy to explore options of joint ventures with all members who
believe we can be of assistance.”
