John Rostron is the CEO of The Independent Festivals Association, an organisation who represents many of the best festivals in the UK. 

He joined us to talk about the challenges which the sector is facing at the moment and how some festivals simply can't survive. 

He also talked us through the wider impact that these failures will have on hospitality and retail businesses who use these large events as a revenue stream both directly and indirectly. 

An Hour With An Indie is created by Pilla - the app where retail and hospitality work happens.

Scheduling shifts is just the start - Pilla's automation and work templates make sure teams get the right work done, at the right time, in the right way.
