ES GLOBAL

What a weekend we’ve got coming up at ES GLOBAL, our busiest of the summer! 🌍 From Birmingham, UK to Houston, Texas, our staging is supporting phenomenal shows by globally iconic artists. With our staging in stadiums across the UK, USA, and France – plus major events at Bellahouston Park in Glasgow, a string of shows at @cardiff_castle, and @nocturnelive at Blenheim Palace – we’re wishing everyone an unforgettable time. A huge thanks to our incredible crews for making it all happen. 🙌 #StagingSeason #EventProfs

The Australia Pavilion looks brilliant lit up at night, and even better in rainbow colours for Pride Month! 🏳️‍🌈

It’s always a joy to showcase our work, and this week, we were especially pleased to have our Co-CEO Jeff at #Expo2025Osaka, guiding visitors through the @UKPavilion2025 alongside ES GLOBAL Japan’s Managing Director Tomoko, and Senior Manager, Kaoru. Tomoko also had the honour of meeting the former Prime Minister of Japan, Fumio Kishida, alongside the UK’s Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, Lisa Nandy MP. A real highlight for our team, and a great reminder of the cultural connections and collaboration Expo is all about. #UKPavilion #EventProfs

It’s been three years of @ABBAVoyage at Pudding Mill Lane! 🎶 Time flies when you’re dancing. We’re proud to have built the arena for this groundbreaking show, a custom-designed, demountable venue that’s delighting fans year after year. Massive thanks to everyone who helped make it happen. It’s been a joy to see the ABBA Arena become part of London’s live entertainment landscape. 💃🕺 #ABBAVoyage #EventProfs

🇬🇧 Happy UK National Day at Expo 2025! Watching visitors enjoy the UK Pavilion has really brought home the scale and impact of this project. It’s a proud moment for everyone who helped bring it to life. Take a look at the Pavilion in action, and the people it was built for. There’s still plenty more to come!

The Canada Pavilion at Expo 2025 is a model of sustainability and inclusive leadership. ♻️ The Canada Pavilion at Expo 2025 stands out not only for its innovative use of the Global Modular System (GMS), enabling the structure to be repurposed for future projects, but also for its leadership in diversity. It boasts the highest ratio of female core team members across our Expo pavilions, with a strong presence of Japanese women from ES GLOBAL leading its delivery. This unique combination of sustainability and inclusive leadership highlights the pavilion's progressive approach to both environmental and social responsibility. Thank you to the team for all your support in bringing the pavilion to life - Mirari, @raylabo_archi, Guillaume Pelletier Architecte, JKFL, @CanadaExpo @ExpoCanada #Expo2025Osaka #EventProfs #CanadaPavilion #Regeneration

Expo 2025 Osaka is officially open! 🎉 After 11 months of construction on Yumeshima, Osaka, the doors are open for 184 days of innovation, culture, and global collaboration. We’re incredibly proud to see our builds of four pavilions – UK, USA, Canada, and Australia – open and ready to welcome the world. Each one tells its own unique story, and it’s been an unforgettable journey bringing them to life alongside some truly fantastic teams. Stay tuned as we share more about the collaboration and hard work that made these pavilions possible. Check out our Joint CEO Olly outside of the UK Pavilion with Project Director Martin Heap – a proud moment for the whole crew! #Expo2025Osaka #UKPavilion #OsakaExpo

It's ready to welcome the world. The @USA_Pavilion_ at #Expo2025Osaka exemplifies excellence in innovation and architecture. Built and delivered by ES GLOBAL, the pavilion showcases a robust and efficient approach to design and construction, using a bespoke steel system, modular timber façade and repurposed ES GLOBAL equipment to maximise cost efficiency. Olly Watts - joint CEO, ES GLOBAL: "The strength of the USA Pavilion lies in its clear demonstration of ingenuity — combining innovative venue design with cost-effective delivery on the global stage. By drawing on modular construction methods and repurposing existing equipment beyond Expo 2025, we’ve created a pavilion that reflects both architectural ambition and smart execution." A big thank you to the team for this incredible achievement, including @Alchemy_ps @trahanarch @BRCArts and Momentum Structural Engineers Photography: @HuftonandCrow #Expo2025Osaka #EventProfs #USAPavilion #ImagineWhatWeCanCreateTogether

Expo 2025 Osaka is almost here! 🌏✨ All Type A pavilions constructed by ES GLOBAL will open on time tomorrow for a soft launch, ahead of the official opening on Sunday, 13th April. A huge thank you to our team, partners, and suppliers who have worked tirelessly to bring these structures to life.

The build is complete, and the Certificate of Completion has been awarded! 🎉 The @USA_Pavilion_ theme, 'Imagine What We Can Create Together,' rings true as we celebrate the team behind its construction. This marks a key milestone in our journey at #Expo2025Osaka, with the completion of the second of the four pavilions being built by ES GLOBAL. 🏗️ Take a look at the time-lapse of the build below! With thanks to a brilliant team @Alchemy_ps @trahanarch @BRCArts #EventProfs

With just one month until #Expo2025Osaka opens its doors, we’re in the final stretch of delivering four pavilions for their global showcase. After months of construction, it’s been incredible to see the structures taking shape. Sustainability sits at the heart of what we do. By applying circular economy principles and smart, sustainable solutions, we’re ensuring these pavilions create a memorable experience, without leaving a lasting impact on the planet. With six months of innovation, culture, and collaboration ahead, we can’t wait to see Expo visitors experience it all. #CircularEconomy

On 6th March, we hosted an International Women’s Day panel featuring Abigail Matthews (Momentum Structural Engineers), Alicia Tkacz (@StufishStudio), and ES GLOBAL’s own Tomoko Maekawa and Amy Casterton, moderated by our HR Director, Charlotte Mullen. This inspiring discussion brought together senior women from across our industry to share their experiences, challenges, and hopes for the future. Here are some key insights from the conversation: 🔹 Breaking Barriers – Panellists reflected on the challenges of establishing authority in a male-dominated industry. From being mistaken for assistants to overcoming unconscious bias, they highlighted the need for awareness and advocacy. 🔹 Progress & Change – While the industry has become more inclusive, barriers remain—especially in career progression and leadership roles. Panellists noted that parental leave policies and workplace flexibility have improved, but there’s still work to be done. 🔹 Confidence & Representation – The importance of mentorship, coaching, and creating spaces where women feel heard was a recurring theme. "You shouldn’t have to behave like a man to succeed," one speaker noted, emphasising the need for workplaces to evolve. 🔹 Why Diversity Matters – Beyond fairness, diversity is simply good business. Companies that fail to represent society risk alienating talent and partners. As one panellist put it, "We want to see ourselves represented." 🔹 Looking Forward – The panel concluded with a commitment to fostering change. From challenging biases to amplifying diverse voices, the path forward is about action as much as conversation. As part of our commitment to supporting women worldwide, we also made a donation to Women for Women International, helping to empower women in conflict-affected communities. A huge thank you to our panellists for sharing their insights. #IWD #WomenInIndustry #EventProfs
