Introduction

The Disco Co

Not All Discos Are The Same

Here at The Disco Co we have no egos and do not need to have any hard sells.

- we have been working alongside many premier hotels for well over a decade; our preferred supplier status really sets us apart. 95% of our work is based upon personal recommendation

- we do not want you to rely on other peoples' nostalgia of a good night for reference; we invite you to try before you buy. Come to an actual event as our guest, so you can make your own decision from your experience of our performance. We are proud of what we do.

- all DJs employed by The Disco Co are professional - by this we mean every DJ is (or has) relied upon the wages received from entertaining as their only source of income. For us this is a true sign of real talent, as if you are not entertaining you quickly get uncovered!

DJmark Platinum Holder

To achieve the DJmark Platinum Award, The Disco Co has provided documentary proof of the following:

• A Public Liability Insurance policy (also known as PLI) is held by The Disco Co. Last time we saw a copy of the certificate, the expiry date was recorded as 16/09/2012. PLI protects you and your guests in the event of a claim against The Disco Co and is a standard requirement of many venues.

• A signed disclaimer confirming that due to current working practices within the company, a ProDub licence is not applicable to their operation. A ProDub licence is usually required when manipulating digital media files for the purposes of playing them in public / for reward and is a legal requirement. Further details are available at PRS for Music.

• Portable Appliance Testing records. PAT is a regime for testing and certifying as safe electrical equipment. Most PATs are valid for 12 months and the expiry date for The Disco Co equipment was last recorded as being 10/06/2012. Many venues now insist on seeing PAT records for their or your subcontractors as a condition of granting access.

• Providing Written Contracts or booking confirmation to all clients.

• A published company Health & Safety Method Statement made available to all employees and interested parties. Some venues, especially larger hotel chains, now require such documentation before granting access.

• A recent Health & Safety Risk Assessment for an actual booking.

In addition, The Disco Co has also confirmed to us that they offer:

• Pre-event face-to-face customer meetings, if required (included in the fee)

• Music requests and playlists both in advance and on the night

• A landline number for customer use

Finally, DJmark have validated at least THREE recent positive customer testimonials as being accurate.
