iEDM appointed to Supercheap Auto Bathurst 1000

Event service specialists iEDM have been appointed by V8 Supercar Events to provide site management and labour services for the 50th Anniversary Supercheap Auto Bathurst 1000.

iEDM will provide site management, event labour, workplace health and safety officers and compliance consultancy to V8 Supercars for the event.

Set to be one of the biggest Australian sporting events this year, the 50th anniversary V8 Supercar race is set to generate exceptional demand for grandstands, camping and corporate spaces. In addition, there are a number of exciting activities planned for the record crowds expected.

iEDM Director Steve Orr, who has years of varied experience in different capacities at Mount Panorama, will be assuming the role of Site Manager with assistance from other team members from iEDM.
