Executional meet and greet staff on the welcome desk, ready for arriving guests
Arrivals · Meet & Greet Staff

Meet & Greet Staff.

Meet and greet staff look after the arrival: a friendly face at the entrance and a clear arrivals desk, so every guest knows where they are going and who they are seeing. We supply them UK wide to brands, agencies and in-house event teams, booked for the door on its own or next to a wider team.

On the door since 2007

Guest arrival staff for the first ninety seconds of your event

Those opening moments often shape how the rest of the visit feels. A greeter outside, a sign-in desk that moves and someone who can walk a guest to the right room: that is the whole job, and it is the only job this team is booked for.

Need one greeter for a showroom morning, or a larger team spread across several entrances? Either way, the people are chosen for your brief from the 6,000+ registered with us, spread over 40 hubs around the country.

Checks

Cleared Before Day One

Right to Work and ID checked for everyone we put on your door, and Employer and Public Liability insurance covering every job. DBS checks, plus risk assessments, can be supplied on request.

Before arrival

Told Who Is Coming

A briefing form comes to you first. Each person on the team then sits a session based on your answers: your guests, the layout of the building and how you want them looked after.

Admin

No Payroll On Your Side

We run PAYE for the team and deal with their tax, their National Insurance and all HR in house, so the paperwork never lands on your desk.

During the shift

Watched From First Shift

Every shift is preceded by a reminder, check-ins on site are geo-tagged and we watch attendance live, with a project manager assigned and support around the clock.

The route in

What an arrivals team covers between the door and the day

Four stops, in the order a guest meets them. Book the full route, or only the part of it you are short of on the day.

Kerb

Spotted before the entrance

Greeters outside with a name board or signage pick people up as they step out of a car or round the corner, so nobody has to guess which building is yours.

Door

A hello at the threshold

Entrance staff say good morning first and keep the entrance flow moving at the busy moments, so a crowd never builds up on the pavement outside.

Desk

Names found, passes out

At the arrivals desk the team takes care of arrival sign in and the lanyard and pass handout, using whatever sign-in method you have set up.

Onward

Walked to the right place

Directions on arrival, a short walk to the right room or a hand-over to whoever the guest has come to see. Wayfinding stops being a sign on a wall.

The route ends once everyone is where they should be. That is what makes this a role you can book by itself, for a morning or for a run of dates.

The roles

Six places a meet and greet team stands

Each card is a role we staff. Mix them to suit how many ways in you have, how many people are due and the hours they are due over.

Choose your roles →
01

Greeters on the pavement

Event greeters outside the entrance or at the drop-off point, signage in hand, turning people towards the correct door before they have to ask.

02

Faces at every entrance

Door and entrance teams who say hello first and keep things moving when several guests walk in at once, on every door you open.

03

Behind the welcome desk

Staff at the welcome desk running arrival sign in against your list and handing over whatever each guest needs to carry for the day.

04

Registration staff for events and exhibitions

Where the arrivals desk also handles registration, the same people run it, from the first pass issued to the last late arrival of the morning.

05

Guides to the right room

Greeting staff who walk a guest to the room, or to the person they came to meet, rather than pointing along a corridor and leaving them to it.

06

Someone in charge of the door

An event manager who oversees the arrivals team, coordinates any late changes and keeps in touch with the venue, giving you one contact on site.

Proof from the door

Brands that trusted us with event welcome staff

Store openings, launch nights, client dinners and county show days where a welcome team from Executional was the first thing guests met. Every tile is a real booking.

Booking

How meet and greet staff hire works

The same order of events whether it is a single greeter for one morning or a team spread across every way into the building.

01

Your door plan

Send the venue, the date, when guests start landing and how many you expect, plus how many staff each entrance should have and the hours they cover.

02

A priced answer

A transparent, fully itemised quote. Every rate, hour and on-cost behind the total is there to read, with nothing tucked away. Billing terms are fixed within that quote before work begins.

03

People picked for it

Our operations team chooses people for their skills, their experience and their location. After sign-off on the quote, you get an account manager for the booking.

04

Briefed, then on the door

What you put on the briefing form turns into a session every person sits before the event, and training can be added, virtually or in house. A project manager then looks after the day itself.

FAQ

What people want to know about welcome staff

Straight answers on what the job covers, where it stops and how a booking comes together.

What do meet and greet staff actually do?

They take care of the arrival. That means greeting people outside and at the entrance, running the arrivals desk, handing over passes and walking guests to the room or the person they came for. When the last guest is settled, the job is done.

Does a meet and greet team stay on for the whole event?

Not usually. It is booked for the arrival and finishes when the doors quieten down. Staff who stay with guests on the floor from start to finish are our event hosts, and the two can be quoted together if you need both.

Can you supply registration staff for events and exhibitions?

Yes, where registration is part of the arrival. The same people who greet guests sign them in and issue their passes. If the brief is a full programme with sessions to run as well, our conference staff page covers that side.

Can I book greeters for a single morning?

Yes. One shift is a normal booking here, and so is a run of dates across several weeks. Tell us which hours matter and we price exactly those.

How many welcome staff do I need?

It depends. The things that move it are how many guests land at once, how many doors are open and whether the desk also hands out passes. You set the headcount in your brief, and if you would like a second opinion on it, ask, and we can go through it with you.

Will the team know who my guests are here to see?

Yes, if it is in the brief. Your briefing form covers your guests, the building and anything the door needs to know, and every person on the team is briefed from it in a session ahead of the day.

Can you cover arrivals at short notice?

Often. We do take late bookings, though more notice widens the choice of people for your door.

Which parts of the UK can you send a team to?

All of it, from 40 staffing hubs. The biggest cities have pages of their own: event staff London, event staff Manchester, event staff Birmingham and event staff Leeds.
