Over 13 years of experience
S&P was founded in 2011 with an initial idea to fill the gap in the market for high quality hospitality staff for hire. We soon realised that most of our clients also needed assistance in other aspects of event organisation. Having the experience, knowledge and resources to be able to help them we extended our services and have been delivering memorable bespoke experiences to private and corporate clients ever since.
We see ourselves as an extension of your business
We have many regular clients who have been working with us for a long time and we feel the reason for this is our ability to provide flexible and bespoke solutions to each one of them. We will always listen, gather information and adapt to your requirements whether this is a catering package we are creating for you or front of house staff we are hand picking to reflect your company’s image and values.
Friendly and Reliable Core Team
Valuing quality rather than quantity, we have a strong core team.
Our loyal head office staff have been with the company since the beginning, seen all the highs and lows and continue to be the glue people who make sure all operations run smoothly and to a very high standard.
Our waiting staff and bartenders work together very often and possess that team feeling rarely seen in larger groups. Our clients are very likely to see the same faces again and again, which provides simplicity and continuity.
