Company gets ready for an eventful future

Alternative Cater Hire, soon to be known as National Event Hire, will organise almost any aspect of a function or party, from catering to seating. Niamh Hennessy speaks to the company’s sales and customer care manager, Mary Harney.

LAST July, 10,000 people ascended upon Collins Barracks in Cork City to enjoy the delights of Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli, at one of the year's most spectacular concerts.

This was not going to be an easy concert to organise. For a start it was an outdoor event and, given the inconsistent Irish weather, this would be a risk. Also there was the task of transporting the revellers to the event and seating them once they got there.
