Welcome Back Fund Events Management

Notice Description

Purpose Salford City Council requires the services of a professional event management company or event management individual to manage a programme of events at key high street areas across the city. This would be focused around a month of events to promote Salford's high streets and encourage footfall in a positive and safe manner.
