Testimonials
Executional took the stress out of coordinating the administration, accommodation, transport and timings for manning a busy stand at a London exhibition. We will definitely use Executional again.
Ventmann UK Ltd
The team of staff for our event were fantastic, the team were enthusiastic and very professional; engaging with our consumers and really represented our brand. Our team leader was amazing and was so helpful on the day!
Missguided
I just wanted to say thank you for your professionalism. Your reports are very thorough and way better than other companies we have worked with. The staff are always well presented and the customer feedback we get is always positive.
Charbonnel et Walker
I just wanted to let you know what a great team you have. The staff were professional and very competent. They took instruction well and used their own initiative where needed.
The Business Continuity Institute
Brilliant staff, we have a complex scheme but after a simple briefing, they are holding detailed conversations to such an extent that I can leave them to handle work calls. Best of both worlds really engaging with visitors but also super bright. If I do come to London again for shows this year will definitely try to get in early to secure them
Fleet Evolution
The Staff at Executional were amazing! Super professional and efficient. The guys they sent out went above and beyond for the event, they all had such high energy and made all the guests feel welcome. Will definitely use them again.
Unicorn Events Ltd
Great communication. Every time we have used these guys the person/people have been on time, professional, and quick to learn about our product USPs so they can communicate them effectively.
Beco Pets Ltd
Having worked with a number of agencies for approximately 10 years, Executional have proven to be a cut above the rest. They are willing to adapt to client differences, the urgency of some bookings, the complexities of managing such a huge profile of store bookings, across the nation, and do so with positivity and confidence.
Manning Gottlieb OMD (Specsavers)
Amazing service from start to end! Would highly recommend EXECUTIONAL and we will certainly be using them again in the future!
Stagecoach Supertram
The on-site team were great, and they were happy to assist with all jobs and were proactive in asking what they could do to help with this. They were all super friendly and professional and a great help at the event.
National Career Guidance Show
The team onsite were fantastic, keeping visitors well informed and asking for more information directly if they were asked a question we hadn’t briefed them on. Thank you!
LNER
I just wanted to say thank you so much for sending Brigitte and Amber for our Kingston opening! They were, FANTASTIC! I have already told them myself, but please pass on a big thank you from myself and the team here at Space NK, the event was a huge success, and they were both so great!
SpaceNK
From the initial inquiry through to the event itself, Executional made the whole process very easy. The staff were superb and I really felt valued as a client by Tim and his team. We will be using Executional for all our promotional staffing requirements going forward.
Gilbertson &Page Ltd
We have been using Executional for years now. From bookings to the information prior to the event and for the cost, they are a really professional and helpful company to work with!

Tim was really helpful and accommodating to our needs for the event. The staff were very friendly, approachable, engaging and delivered on any task that was asked of them.

Alde International (UK) Ltd
From displaying creative thinking against brief to first-class operational deployment and campaign review, Executional were a value-adding partner to collaborate with.
Shell UK Oil Systems Ltd
I’ve worked with Tim now for a number of years delivering a plethora of experiential campaigns. He has a ‘yes’ attitude and the invaluable recommendations and feedback he provides mean we’re able to learn and improve continually. I couldn’t recommend Tim and the team at Executional highly enough.
Fable Media & PR
EXECUTIONAL has consistently outperformed other agencies that lacked professionalism and reliability. They are flexible and responsive, making them a top recommendation of ours.
