What is corporate event staffing?

Corporate event staffing is the supply of trained, guest facing teams to a company hosting its own occasion.

The team works a guest list, not a delegate list or a stand. Its job is to represent your business to your own people, your clients and your board.

We supply full teams. One brief, one team, one invoice.

We have used Executional Services many times, and each time we have been thoroughly impressed by their professionalism and the excellent staff throughout. From the initial booking process right through to the event itself, everything runs smoothly and efficiently. Nothing is ever too much trouble.

The team we hired from Executional were engaged, fun, looked the part and worked really hard to fulfil the client brief. We would love to work with the team again, thanks for partnering with us.

We were lucky to have the same event manager as before, who was brilliant, managed the team beautifully and was very responsive. The team as a whole were great, punctual, polite, professional and importantly friendly.
How it works

Booking a team takes four steps

What sits with us at each stage, rather than with you.

01

Tell us the occasion

Venue, date, hours and team size.

Guest numbers and dress code help us match the right people to it.

02

Itemised quotation

Day rates, hours and on-costs line by line.

Usually back within hours, and ready to take straight to sign off.

03

Account manager and written brief

Assigned once the quote is signed off.

Your briefing form becomes a written brief: guest list, escalation, dress, venue layout.

04

Billed after the event

Billing follows the occasion, not the booking.

Attendance confirmation, photography and reporting are a paid extra, quoted alongside the staffing.

FAQ

Corporate event staff questions

What counts as corporate, what we supply, what the teams wear and what it costs.

What counts as a corporate event?

An occasion your own company is hosting for its own invited guests. Awards ceremonies, product and brand launches, client entertaining, investor and AGM days, and company wide internal events. The test we use is simple: if your business is the host and the room is filled from a guest list rather than from ticket sales, it is a corporate booking.

What if my event is not quite corporate?

It comes down to who is buying and why. A published programme with delegates attending sessions is conference staff. A company working its own stand at somebody else's show is exhibition staff. A company hosting its own invited guests is this page, whether the evening runs to a tight running order or not. General hire that fits none of the three sits on our event staff page.

What do you not supply?

Food and drink service. We supply promotional calibre guest facing staff, not a catering operation, so there are no waiters, no silver service and no kitchen. The one exception is a team working a branded or sponsored bar, where alcohol licensing can be provided on request. For food and table service your venue or a catering supplier is the right call, and we would rather say so up front.

Can you staff an awards ceremony?

Yes, and it is one of the briefs we take most often. Recent awards work includes the Great British Pub Awards at First Direct Arena, the SIBA British Guild of Beer Writers Awards and the Stella Artois Perfect Serve Awards in London. Where an awards night sits inside a longer programme, the ceremony itself is still quoted as a corporate booking.

Do you cover AGMs and investor days?

Yes, as a service. Arrivals, accreditation against a confirmed attendee list, escalation when a board member or an institutional guest arrives, and quiet floor support through the day. These are booked the same way as any other company occasion and staffed by the same guest facing teams.

What do your corporate teams wear?

Whatever you specify: black tie, business dress, all black, or a uniform you provide. Where you are supplying the uniform we handle sizing and distribution ahead of the event, so nothing turns up on the night in the wrong size or gets worn differently by half the team.

How much does corporate event staffing cost, and how far ahead should I book?

There is no flat day rate. The number moves on which roles you need, the size of the team, how long the shift runs, the city and whether it runs past midnight. On timing, December and the summer awards season are the tight weeks in every major city, so commit to those early. Outside them, short notice is usually workable.

Where in the UK do you supply corporate event staff?

Nationwide. The heaviest coverage runs through our London event staff, Manchester event staff, Birmingham event staff, Leeds promotional staff and Edinburgh promotional staff teams, with the rest of the network reaching the cities in between.
