What type of hospitality staff do I need for my corporate event?

/in /by

When it comes to events, presentation is everything. The quality of your hospitality staff will directly impact the quality of your event and the reputation of your company. Depending on how well you choose your staff, this can be a very positive or a very negative impact!

Who do I need?

The first step is to work out exactly who you will need to support the event because leaving roles unfilled is a recipe for organisational disaster. 

Most events require front of house staff for meet and greet and waiting staff to serve cocktails and canapes, a sit down meal or all of the above.  You may also need cloakroom staff, promotional staff for a sales-based event such as a trade show and promotional models for effective lead generation if you’re launching a brand or product range. 

If your event is a corporate one, we recommend specialist staff to take care of all the prestigious guests who have made the effort to attend. This might be corporate hostesses in hospitality boxes, VIP lift assistants or models and hostesses for private dinners and parties.

For conference events, you will require specialist staff to cover duties such as passing round the microphone during Q and As, manning the information desk and assisting with literature distribution. 

 Every event is unique, but this is a good overall picture of what type of staff you may need at yours.

Why is good hospitality so important?

Every point of contact that your guest has with your event is an opportunity to promote your brand and services in the best possible light, which is why it’s essential to pick qualified staff who are also highly presentable and personable. 

Our friendly and experienced hospitality teams have worked at some of the highest calibre events including exhibitions, private parties and awards ceremonies held at prestigious locations including Wembley Stadium, Royal Ascot and London Excel. We have also assigned staff to work on smaller, more intimate and boutique events. 

Every job is undertaken with a strict commitment to your needs and desires – our team love their work and are fully dedicated to making sure that your event is a success and the guests have a great experience from start to finish. From the moment that your guests arrive at your event, they will enjoy a warm, welcoming atmosphere where every member of staff adds something extra special without being overbearing. 

Our team at Event Hosts offer a fantastic range of staff to suit your exact requirements, however niche. We pride ourselves on offering the highest calibre of staff at an affordable cost.

Quality Event Staff for every Industry …

/in /by

Research shows that the number of events and meetings globally are on the up. 

This is no surprise as events can bring a lot of benefits. For example, the average return on investment for events is typically 25-34%. 

At Event Hosts, we help businesses across every sector and industry to capitalise on the advantages of holding events. 

We can see that more and more businesses across a variety of industries are looking to create great events for their clients and contacts. Here are just some of the clients and industries we have been working with and supplying fantastic event staff to.

HSBC:

As one of the world’s largest banks, we were delighted to work with a brand that serves millions of customers across the globe. 

Event Hosts have been working with HSBC for the last three years, most notably with their annual Diwali client event at the prestigious Hilton Hotel in Park Lane, London. The event requires our high-calibre VIP hostesses to meet and greet guests and provide first-class service throughout the event. 

And we’ve received some great feedback for the event too: 

“What can I say?! It is always such a bliss working with you and the team. The outfits were perfect, and as always, the hostesses add a unique charm and style to the event! Please thank each and every one of the hostesses; they were just brilliant! Without a doubt, I will be in touch for the next event. Keep up the fantastic service, charisma and unique offering.”

Melitta:

The award-winning coffee brand, Melitta, enlists Event Hosts for a range of promotional activities. 

We have a dedicated team of trained baristas who can serve Melitta coffee perfectly at a range of events. Each barista is passionate, enthusiastic and has a great deal of brand knowledge.

Some of the Melitta events we’ve helped with have included; creating a pop-up coffee shop at Old Street Underground Station and the Pub in the Park at Marlow and Tunbridge Wells. Event Hosts have also teamed up with Melitta at pop-up cinema events across London. 

Harrods and Wital Tea:

Working alongside Wital Tea and Harrods, our highly trained retail staff have been promoting and selling Wital Tea as well as providing delicious samples for shoppers in Harrods to enjoy. 

This long-term project means that our brand ambassadors will be greeting shoppers every Saturday at Harrods in Knightsbridge from June to November 2019. The team will be on-hand to improve brand awareness by offering samples of popular Wital Tea flavours. 

Mountain Horse:

Mountain Horse has been providing sustainable and durable riding gear for over thirty years. 

For the last four years, Event Hosts has supported Mountain Horse at the BETA International Exhibition in Birmingham. The Event Hosts team were helping to model the latest collection of riding gear and assisting with order-taking, sales and promotional activities for this prestigious brand. 

Furthermore, the team were also helping to draw more people to the brand’s stand by serving refreshments to the guests. All the while, our event staff maintain a polished and immaculate appearance to help showcase the brand’s association with quality and refinement.
