Selection
Briefed Before Every Job

We pick staff whose skills and past shifts suit your event, then take every one of them through a bespoke brief before they attend.

On the Day
Attendance Managed Live

Shift reminders go out in advance and every arrival is logged by geo-tagged check-in, so our team tracks attendance as it happens, not you.

Behind the Scenes
Payroll and HR Handled

Every person is paid through our own PAYE payroll, with tax, National Insurance and HR handled in house. None of it lands with you.

Support
24/7 Support Line

A real person from our team answers day and night while your shifts run, through late finishes until your staff are on their way home.

Events Staffing Agencies: Your Questions Answered

Frequently Asked Questions.

Still undecided? Talk to us →
What does an event staffing agency do?
An event staffing agency selects, briefs, schedules and supplies the people who run events and campaigns, trained on your brand and the tasks of the day. That is different from an event recruitment agency, which fills permanent roles. Executional also manages payroll, compliance and attendance, giving you one accountable team from the first brief to the last shift.
Do you cover the whole of the UK?
Yes. Our 40 staffing hubs reach right across the country, from Aberdeen down to Cornwall and over to Belfast.
Who pays the staff?
Everyone we supply is paid through our in-house PAYE payroll, so tax, National Insurance and HR sit with us, not with you. That is also the difference between us and a planning company. Executional is an event staff agency, not an event planning or production business: we select, brief and manage the people, and you keep the campaign.
Will your teams wear our branding?
Yes. Teams work in your branded clothing, uniforms or a specified dress code. The requirement goes out with the briefing documents before the event, so everyone arrives correctly presented rather than sorting it on the day.
How quickly can you quote and confirm a booking?
Quotes come back within hours, and we can staff at short notice. For larger or multi-location campaigns, allowing one to two weeks gives us time to select and brief specifically for the work. Send the dates, locations, roles and team size through the quote form, or call 0113 479 0075 (Leeds) or 0203 026 1069 (London).
How much does a booking cost?
Cost depends on the roles, the number of people, the working hours and the locations. Every quotation is itemised line by line with no hidden fees, so you can review the full cost before confirming anything.
What should I look for when comparing event staffing companies and agencies?
Ask how people are selected and briefed, whether right to work is checked, who holds the insurance, how attendance is monitored, who runs payroll and how much of the country the agency can genuinely crew. The best event staffing agencies answer every one of those without hesitating. Our client reviews are a good place to start.
Do you work directly with brands, creative agencies and stand builders?
All three. FMCG, retail, drinks and B2B exhibitors book us direct. Creative, experiential and event marketing agencies brief us on a client's behalf and keep the strategy, production and client relationship. Stand builders and exhibition contractors bring us in to crew the stands they have designed and built. In every case our operations team handles selection, briefing, payroll, compliance and attendance to your specs.
How do I find event staffing agencies near me?
Look for one with a hub near your venue rather than an office near your desk. Ours are spread right around the UK, and teams come from the nearest one.
Can I book people for a single day?
Yes. One day gets the same attention as a month of dates, and for short runs we work as your event temp agency. For longer runs, see our page on temporary event staff.
How large a team can you supply?
Any size. From a single person to large teams across several cities at once. As a national event staffing agency, we simply ask for more notice on the bigger crews.
Can you provide training on our product?
Yes. Virtual or in-house training sessions can be added to any booking when the product or the role needs more than a briefing. They are common on very large events.
