1998

In 1998, MOJO Barriers introduced its groundbreaking aluminium barrier system, replacing steel with aluminium and achieving a 40% weight reduction. This innovation made the product significantly more cost-effective to transport and easier to set up. The aluminium barrier quickly became MOJO Barriers’ most successful product, setting new standards in the industry—so much so that it remains widely imitated more than a decade later.

1998

MOJO Barriers expanded internationally with the opening of its UK office near London. Since its launch, the UK office has supported some of the country’s most iconic events, including major tours such as Katy Perry and the Foo Fighters, as well as world-renowned festivals like Reading and Glastonbury. In addition to music events, the UK team has contributed to a wide variety of other projects, ranging from film premieres to council, retail, and sporting events.

2003

MOJO Barriers established its USA office, now based in Pennsylvania and led by J.B. Dolphin. Since then, the USA office has supplied barriers to a diverse range of sectors across the United States, supporting everything from major music tours to corporate events, film premieres, and large-scale public gatherings.

2005

A section of MOJO Barriers’ aluminium barrier was featured at the prestigious Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York as part of the exhibition titled “SAFE: Design Takes On Risk.” The exhibit showcased innovations in design that address safety and security risks, marking one of the most unique and unexpected moments in MOJO Barriers’ history—and undoubtedly one of the coolest!

2005

MOJO Barriers took a major step forward in crowd safety with the development of the Barrier Load Monitor System (BLMS). This innovative system measures the pressure applied by crowds to barriers in real time, representing a significant advancement in ensuring the health and safety of attendees at live events. The BLMS has since become an essential tool for maintaining safe environments for both performers and audiences.

2007

MOJO Barriers launched a groundbreaking research programme in collaboration with Bucks New University to explore the use of the Barrier Load Monitor System (BLMS). First deployed at the Roskilde Festival in Denmark, the research focuses on scientifically analysing the most effective barrier configurations to ensure crowd safety. This ongoing study is the first of its kind, continually advancing knowledge on how to keep large crowds safe at live events.

2009

MOJO Barriers introduced the Gatekeeper system, a unique turnstile product designed to capture real-time data at event entrances and VIP areas. This innovative solution enables seamless and efficient crowd control while gathering valuable insights, further enhancing event safety and security. The Gatekeeper system quickly became a trusted tool for managing large-scale events with precision.

2009

A year of profound sorrow for MOJO Barriers and the events industry, marked by the tragic and unexpected passing of Patrick Jordan, the company’s Managing Director. Patrick was a highly respected leader and a pivotal figure in MOJO Barriers’ success. His loss was a devastating shock to all who knew him, and his influence and presence are deeply missed to this day.

2011

MOJO Barriers strengthened its UK presence by opening a Northern office in York, enabling the company to deliver seamless service to events across the entire country. This expansion enhances MOJO Barriers’ ability to respond quickly and efficiently, providing comprehensive support for major festivals, concerts, and public events throughout the UK.

2012

MOJO Barriers continued its global expansion by establishing a network of over 14 international distributors, with the most recent additions in New Zealand and Norway. This growing international presence enables MOJO Barriers to support both local events and global tours with cutting-edge equipment and expertise, cementing its position as a leading provider in the global stage barrier market.

2012

With ongoing investment in research and development, MOJO Barriers is set to launch two groundbreaking products this year, poised to revolutionise the live event industry. Stay tuned for these exciting innovations, which will push the boundaries of crowd safety and event infrastructure.

2016

MOJO Barriers was acquired by the EVAGO Group, marking a significant milestone in the group’s expansion. With the addition of MOJO Barriers and its global reputation for crowd safety, EVAGO, which also includes the full-service German event company BÜMO®, has strengthened its position as one of the largest players in the live events market. This acquisition secures EVAGO Group’s access to key international markets in crowd management and event infrastructure, further expanding its global reach.

2018

MOJO Rental took over the worldwide MOJO Barriers rental business, consolidating all of the EVAGO Group’s expertise under this new global brand. Additionally, MOJO Rental assumed control of TERRAPLAS’ global rental operations, bringing nearly 30 years of experience in turf protection into its portfolio. This strategic move positions MOJO Rental as a leading force in the event infrastructure and turf protection sectors worldwide.
