After 12-years unmitigated persistence, shaking up the event industry’s power trip with pure biodiesel, Midas Productions duly won the Green Festival Supplier gong at the inaugural Festival Supplier Awards.

The judges, including DF Concerts’ Head of Event Management, Colin Rodger, Hannah Farnham, Live Nation’s Head of Production and Events, and Dan Craig, Head of Operations at Loudsound, paid tribute to the company’s ‘pioneering use of renewable energy in live events’.

Dave Noble, Director at Midas, comments: “Running our machines on 100% biodiesel, sourced from waste vegetable oil since 2000, we had to overcome a number of assumptions, but ultimately the event industry has embraced the change. And at the end of our busiest year yet, it’s fabulous to be recognised by such a well-qualified panel of people.”

Midas provides the power to a broad range of clients, among them, Arts Council England, Artichoke, BBC, Bestival, Forestry Commission, Loudsound, National Trust, Royal Opera House, and latterly, pop-up science, design and innovation festival, Technopop.
