No request is too wild!
We provide a huge range of event and experiential staff, tailored to the needs of each production. This can include actors, performers, dancers, hosts, presenters, brand ambassadors, promotional staff, event crew, VIP hosts, models, entertainers and specialist characters.
If you have something slightly more unusual in mind, just ask. If we don't already have the right people in our network, we'll find them.
-
No - we don't have a set cap.
Whether you need one exceptional person for an intimate activation or a large team across multiple locations, we'll build a staffing solution around your requirements.
For larger productions, we can also help with planning, scheduling and managing teams to make sure everything runs smoothly on the day.
-
Absolutely not.
We're based in the UK and work with clients and productions across the country - and wherever the brief takes us.
Whether you're producing an event in London, Manchester, Edinburgh, Birmingham or somewhere a little more unexpected, we can help source and manage the right team.
-
Our people aren't just there to fill a space - they're there to enhance the experience.
Depending on your brief, our teams can bring performance, improvisation, hosting, presenting, customer service, brand representation, dancing, acting, crowd engagement and a whole host of specialist skills.
We take the time to understand what your event actually needs, so we can match you with people who have the right skills, experience and personality for the role.
-
We believe great staffing is about more than finding people who are available.
We're known for being responsive, communicative and genuinely invested in getting the right people for the job. We build long-term relationships with both our clients and our talent, meaning we can understand your requirements quickly and draw on a trusted network of exceptional people.
We're also not afraid of a challenge. Whether your brief is highly specific, last-minute or a little bit bonkers, we'll get stuck in and find a solution.
-
Absolutely!
Our team are always happy to chat things through, working to understand exactly what you might need to enhance and support your upcoming event.
We aspire to make your job easier from the off - providing suggestions and ideas, helping to shape the brief and assisting with the planning process where appropriate.
You don't need to have everything figured out before you come to us. That's what we're here for.
-
The earlier the better, particularly for larger productions or briefs requiring specialist skills.
That said, we understand that events don't always work to plan! If you've got a last minute requirement, get in touch. We'll always do our best to help.
-
Yes.
Last minute briefs are very much part of event life, and we're used to working quickly when plans change.
Give us as much information as you can and we'll get to work finding the right people as quickly as possible.
-
Yes. We take the quality and suitability of our talent seriously.
We carefully select people for our network and match them to each brief based on their experience, skills, professionalism and suitability for the role.
Where a production requires specific checks, qualifications or experience, we'll make sure these requirements are built into the staffing process.
-

Talk to us about what you need and we'll work out the best approach.
-
This is where we really come into our own.
We specialise in finding people who can become part of the experience, rather than simply turn up and work an event.
Whether you need a cast of characters, interactive performers, hosts who can improvise in character or a team who can fully embrace a world you've created, we have people who understand how to make immersive experiences feel authentic.
-
Absolutely.
We love building relationships with clients and talent, and where appropriate we can help create consistent teams across a series of events or productions.
This can be particularly valuable for brands and agencies running multiple activations, where having a familiar, trusted team can make the whole process much easier.
-
Simply get in touch with your brief - even if it's still a work in progress.
We'll talk through what you need, recommend the right staffing solution and provide a quote based on the requirements of your event.
