Lately at Koncept

Sophie

We’re a small business but in 2024 we’re making big steps

The first quarter of 2024 has disappeared in a blink of an eye, and we’re still catching our breath from all the changes and moves we’ve been making to make sure that 2024 is out most successful year yet. 


As loyal customers, we want to keep you updated on the different things that have been happening, that you may or may not know about.

New line of business



First up, we’ve started a line of business to share more of our knowledge with our valued customers. When we’re out on the road, working events, we meet so many bands and performers, all at different stages of their careers but one thing they all have in common is their passion for performing. Having been part of the industry for many years, we’d like to think we know a thing or two about live music performances and have therefore started The Band Shop, a one stop shop for all your equipment needs. 


The Band Shop is the sales branch of Koncept Productions, giving you professional advice, quality equipment and custom packages for every need. With the online shop up and running, you can order online with ease or call us to discuss your needs and we can recommend the right gear for you.

New members of staff



With the expansion of the business, we’ve needed to hire more staff to help with the increased workload. We spent January and February advertising and recruiting for two new roles within the business. 


First, we hired, Joel as our Online Sales Assistant. Fresh out of school, Joel has joined the team to run The Band Shop. He can be found in the warehouse processing orders and making sure our customers are happy with their purchases. In his down time, he loves playing video games or listening to Reggae.


Then, we hired Gina as our Sales Executive & Bookkeeper. She will be primarily working on the businesses’ accounts and chatting to clients about their events and requirements. In her down time, Gina loves spending time with her children, and is a massive foodie.

A new warehouse


You might have seen on Instagram, but we’ve also moved! We’ve moved to a newer place near Biggleswade, that has a larger office for our growing team and enough space for all our equipment. We’ve spent most of the last few months getting all the kit moved and setting it up ready for the upcoming season. It’s still a work in progress but we’re excited to get settled in and making the place our own.



More bookings


This year has also seen an unprecedented number of bookings and enquiries coming through since pre-covid, which is very exciting. We’re looking forward to attending lots of events this year but if you haven’t booked your stage yet, we do have limited availability now for the summer, so get in there quick before it all goes.
