Event Protocol present their corporate event staff
After the launch of our site, we went hard to work trying to source some of the best and most experienced event staff in London and across the UK. It was no easy task and after reviewing approximately 300 applications we whittled it down to the most experienced, professional and personable candidates.
Head of the team, Jugita who has an abundance of corporate event management experience pulled in a few of her ex colleagues and she now has an enviable team of corporate event staff on her books.
The corporate event staff team combined has over 100 years of experience working on corporate events, conferences, exhibitions and trade shows in London and across the UK. Between them they have experience of working with some of the biggest corporate clients such as Credit Suisse, Merril Lynch, Sony, Barclays, FT.. not that we are name dropping!
Many of the corporate event staff are actresses, models and entertainers who have registered with Event Protocol to work as temporary staff on some of the best events across London and the UK.

Whoever said event management was a glamorous job obviously hasn’t worked as an events manager. The few days running up to an event are by far the most stressful time for anyone planning an event. Long hours at your desk, never ending lists of things to do as well as meeting last minute demands and requests from your clients. All this eat into your time and there never seem enough hours in the day.
For instance some large corporate conferences can host up to 800 meetings across a 2 day conference with a delegation of up to 1000 guests. On top of the logistics of arranging the conference, there are also the social events and gala dinners which take place the day before or the day of the conference. So, the days before a conference are extremely stressful for an event planner. There is always a long list of to do’s – printing the name badges, printing the guest lists, sending confirmations to attendees, preparing the dinner place cards, finalising the table plan, chasing for speaker presentations, arranging transfers for attendees, stuffing hundreds of welcome packs, couriering the boxes to the venue, completing the event running order, early arrival at the venue for set up… the list never ends.
Do yourself a favour and get some help. If you’re hiring event staff or conference hostesses for assistance at the event, consider paying a little extra for assistance the day before. At Event Protocol, our event staff can not only help on the day of the event but can also be hired to assist with set up at the venue the day before, as well as pre-event in the office a few days before the event.
Our event staff can help lighten the load and as they say, many hands make light work…

Imagine the scenario; everything is in place, the venue looks spectacular, the stage is ready, the music, lighting, production and flowers add to the atmosphere and your guests start to arrive at a steady pace. Then much to your dismay, it happens. One of your event staff start chewing gum behind the registration desk, while the other starts flirting with the guests.
In that instance, all your months of hard work are ruined by the people who are supposed to be a help not a hindrance. Take time to think about hiring the right staff. For that one day they are the face of your company, they promote and sell your brand. So before committing with your event staffing agency ask to see staff pictures and profiles and ask them about their previous experience to check their experience fits with what you require them to do for your event.
At Event Protocol, our event staff are hired based on their years on experience working in this industry and they take their job very seriously. In fact we only hire staff with a minimum of 2 years experience so you can rest assured our corporate event staff and promotional staff will provide the helping hand you require.
Shop around and don’t necessarily opt for the cheapest quote. Do your research, ask questions and request case studies. After all, there’s never a second chance to make a first impression!
