LOLA takes off with Virgin Atlantic

HOSPITALITY STAFF FOR THE VIRGIN ATLANTIC CLUBHOUSE

A lucky team of LOLA Event Staff have had the pleasure of working with Virgin Atlantic at their award winning VIP Club House at Heathrow Airport.

Virgin approached LOLA with a very clear brief on the types of event staff they required. Crucial to the brief was that the staff matched the Virgin vision and the Virgin brand. Although, of course we all knew about the Virgin brand, we were blown away by the passion and commitment their team had to protecting the incredible product and service they provided. They hadn’t been voted World’s best Club House so many times for nothing!

We though we’d better impress.

We sent our finest 30 hospitality staff for selection. Ultimately the top 12 were chosen. These guys and gals had to have a mix of promotional staffing ability, hospitality experience and the ability to act as hosts and hostesses for Virgin’s many high profile and celebrity clients.

It has been a lot of fun so far and one of our promotional staff was even offered a role in a full time position with Virgin (which of course we were thrilled to support).  

The Club House might be described as a ‘big boy’s playground. Constant fun, great service and hence, LOLA is looking forward to supplying our event staffing team there for many months to come.

Patek Philipe - WOW!

Since starting to send our regular staffing assistant out to Patek Phillipe – the Swiss luxury watch manufacturer in New Bond street, we’ve all been drooling over their amazing watches.

You know you’re dealing with some fancy equipment when the entire shop’s stock is kept in a vault!

Check out some beautiful time pieces at http://www.patek.com/

Pop in some time and hopefully a friendly LOLA face will be there to assist you.

LOLA at the Toy Fair

The LOLA promotions team has returned to its childhood and had a blast helping out at the Toy Fair.

Toy Fair is the only dedicated toy, game and hobby exhibition in the UK. The show is celebrating its 58th anniversary in 2011 from 25th-27th January, following its return to Olympia's Grand Hall in 2010.

Exhibitors - ranging from the large internationals to the new start up companies have been once again showcasing thousands of brand new toys, games and hobbies to the UK's largest gathering of toy industry professionals. And the LOLA promotional staff have been on hand to help promote the coolest new toys around.  

Toy Fair provides visitors with a real overview and insight into a fun, innovative and exciting industry, as well as providing a great networking opportunity and the chance to touch, feel and experiment with the products of the future.

Most importantly, IT’S FUN!

LOLA Comedy Referees

Imagine you are a comedy referee giving out subtle alcohol advice before, during and after a local Dagenham FC match. Fun and cheeky but not overzealous, remember DON’T get in their faces, or annoy the supporters, maybe just some soft advice…..

This was a fun, slightly frightening task the LOLA Promotional Staff were contracted to do at last week’s big match.

The general message is that we understand that football fans enjoy a drink or two with the football, but try to drink in moderation, or do simple things to keep healthy, like having a night off the booze, missing a round or drinking some water (read the booklet for info).

Seems sensible, right? Good work LOLA lads you survived despite the uniform!
