We are a very pragmatic group here at Huddersfield Live. We know that there is a very long list of challenges that people and businesses are facing every day. We know that the impact of these challenges on the lives and livelihoods of individuals and families can be significant and we want to do what we can to make a real difference.
When we talk about “partnerships” that’s exactly what we mean. There is no value in duplicating activity, effort or resource and we want to help establish a “big picture” of a great programme of events in the town. This way, the sum of the parts will be able to create the biggest impact possible over an extended period of time.
We want to use our skills, knowledge, energy and expertise and work with others who see the value of a successful, year round series of events that bring enjoyment, community engagement, fun and financial benefits to people and businesses in Huddersfield.
Here at Huddersfield Live we have a vision.
Huddersfield Live will organise, develop and support public events in and around the town. Our aim is to ensure that traditional community festivals are sustained and new events are developed at a time when the financial climate is resulting in fewer and smaller events.
The town has a fantastic tradition of high-quality, community-focused sporting, cultural and festival events. We are going to be flexible and open to suggestions and opportunities for partnership working and we are definitely ready for the challenge ahead.
Huddersfield Live is a not for profit events company founded by Stafflex Ltd and The Star Inn. The two companies worked together in 2015 on a big film event, it was very successful and brought to light the need for more community focused events, and Huddersfield Live was born!
Initially the company is being funded by our fantastic partners and the proposition is based upon using profits from events to fund future events and, ultimately, to provide returns for shareholders.
Above all, we are determined to drive through the vision to create a sustainable, innovative company that will make a real difference to people and businesses in Huddersfield.
