Meet & Greet
Staff.

Arrival roles we staff
Six places a welcome team stands.
Mix these to suit how many entrances you have, how many guests are due and how tightly their arrival times are bunched.
Kerbside and drop-off greeters
Event greeters at the car park, taxi rank or street corner with signage. They turn people towards the right door before they have to ask.
Entrance teams
Entrance staff on every door you open. They keep the flow moving at the busy moments so a crowd never builds on the pavement.
Welcome desk staff
Arrival sign-in against your list, passes and lanyards handed over, and questions answered at the welcome desk. Where the desk runs full delegate registration, see our conference staff.
Wayfinding and escort staff
Greeting staff who walk guests to the room, the lift or the person they came to meet, rather than pointing down a corridor.
Hotel, airport and station arrivals
Meeting groups and VIPs off flights and trains or in hotel lobbies, with name boards and a hand-over to transport.
Arrivals lead
A named lead runs the welcome team and handles late changes to the guest list. They keep in touch with the venue, giving you one contact at the door.
Why organisers book us
Told who is coming, in place before them.
Right to work and ID checked for everyone on your door. Employer's and Public Liability insurance on every booking. DBS checks and risk assessments on request.
A written briefing on your guests, VIPs, the building layout, the sign-in method and how to handle late arrivals. The team never has to guess at the door.
Every greeter is paid through our PAYE, with National Insurance and HR in-house.
Shift reminders, geo-tagged check-ins and live attendance tracking tell you the door is covered before guests arrive. A 24/7 support line is answered day and night while your shifts run.
The route in
From the kerb to the right room.
Guests decide quickly how organised an event is. A greeter spots them before they reach the wrong door. A desk finds their name first time, and someone walks them to the room. That sets the impression before anyone has said a word on stage.
You set the guest list, the building and the sign-in method. We supply a welcome team sized for the arrivals peak and brief them on who is coming and how to treat them. They finish once the last guest is settled. Book it on its own or beside a wider event team.
Where we greet
Every way into the building.
Teams come from the staffing hub nearest your venue, across 40 hubs in the UK. Welcoming guests somewhere not listed here? Tell us in your quote request.

Buyer questions
Welcome staff: what buyers ask.
What do meet and greet staff do?
They look after the arrival: greeting people outside and at the door, running the welcome desk, handing over passes and walking guests to the room or the person they came for. Once the last guest is settled, the work is done.
Do meet and greet staff stay for the whole event?
Not normally. The booking covers the arrival and ends when the doors go quiet. People who stay with guests through the day, at information points, cloakrooms or VIP areas, are our event hosts, and the two can be quoted together.
How many welcome staff do I need?
It depends on how many guests arrive at once, how many entrances are open and whether the desk also issues passes. Tell us the guest numbers and arrival window and we'll suggest a headcount, which you can adjust.
Can you meet VIPs and corporate guests?
Yes. Named VIP greetings, escorts to private rooms and discreet hand-overs to your hosts are all part of the brief. For company-hosted occasions with a full guest programme, see our corporate event staff.
Can I book greeters for a single morning?
Yes. A short arrival shift is a normal booking, and so is a run of dates across several weeks, for example a showroom or an office reception during a busy period.
What drives the cost of meet and greet staff?
Headcount, the length of the arrival window, early starts, the number of entrances and dates, and the city. We build the quote from your door plan and itemise it.
Can you cover arrivals at short notice?
Often, yes. Late bookings are welcome, and more notice widens the choice of people we can put on your door.
Which parts of the UK can you cover?
All of it, from 40 staffing hubs, with the welcome team drawn from the hub nearest the venue.
