Here is our promo staff leafleting for Spencer Hart at the opening of their pop up shop. The luxury menswear brand opened its shop at One New Exchange where 20% of the profits will be coming to the Dallaglio Foundation. 12 of the suits were signed exclusively by the foundation's founder and ex-England rugby player Lawrence Dallaglio. The launch event was attended by Spencer Hart founder, Nick Hart and a number of high profile guests. LOLA promotional staff looked gorgeous and did a great job attracting people to the newly opened store.

LOLA Directors winning the charity race!

Take a look at the picture of the LOLA Directors winning the race and crossing the finish line together! Duncan and Dean took part in The Baton of Life 5K Fun Run on Wednesday 25th April in aid of Little Havens Children’s Hospice.

The event was held in memory of Andrew Corbett, a friend of Dean’s, who died last year as a result of an asthma induced heart attack, immediately after he completed the Brentwood Half Marathon.

The Baton of Life attracted hundreds of runners, joggers and walkers who were circling the world famous Serpentine in London's Hyde Park.

We are all very proud of Duncan and Dean winning the race and supporting Little Havens Children’s Hospice! Well done guys!

LOLA promo staff for the NHS campaign

Take a look at the pictures of our promotional staff members working for the NHS at their ‘Choose well’ campaign. The event happened at The Exchange Mall in Ilford last Thursday . A pair of our promo staff were helping to raise the awareness of the danger and cost of the incorrect use of NHS emergency services for the treatment of minor illnesses and injuries. ‘A&E is for real emergencies’ – was the main message of the campaign.

Catering staff from LOLA at The Mermaid

Take a look at the pictures of LOLA event staff serving drinks and canapes at The Mermaid last night. LOLA Staffing was one of the proud sponsors of The Mermaid’s launch and the guests were served by our smiley catering staff. Everyone enjoyed the fantastic entertainment by a stand-up comedian Patrick Monahan and a ladder banging band - Slam. The food provided by Create Food & Party Design was great, dessert station being our favourite!

Catering staff from LOLA serving delicious food at the amazing venue – sounds like a great night. It was!

100 days to go until the Olympics opening ceremony – We’re ready!

Check out the video to see how much has been done so far in the preparations for the Summer 2012.

On 27th July, in exactly 100 days, the eyes of the world will be on London. The capital seems to be ready to welcome millions of guests from around the world – and so are we! With thousands of the event staff in our team (most of them accredited specifically to work at the Olympic venues), we can’t wait for the Games to begin. Building on the experience and capacity over the past few years, we were continuously having the record numbers of staff at the events year after year. But this year it won’t be our records that we will be most excited about. It will be the records broken by the greatest athletes that we’ll be thrilled to see. In the Summer 2012 we will take part in the greatest sports celebrations on Earth. We’ll be there in the centre of the action, enjoying the amazing atmosphere and the excitement of the Games. We will also be happy to make sure the event staff from LOLA adds a lot to the positive experience the visitors will take home from London. Come on London, together we can make the history!

People Performance Partnership - The Concerto Group Conference 2012









Here we are: the LOLA office team in all our… glory (?) Don’t worry, it’s not what we look like every day, we actually consider ourselves as exceptionally attractive to be completely honest ;) The pictures you are laughing at are from the Concerto Group Conference 2012. We went to Newport, Wales for 2 days at the beginning of the month to meet all of LOLA’s sister companies from the Concerto Group and to hear what they are up to these days. The entire group is obviously excited about the Olympics and we were happy to see everyone in high spirits and ready to rule the events world this summer (like we always do!). We were pleased to see that it’s not only LOLA growing rapidly but the whole Concerto family gets bigger and bigger every year. And there’s no better way to get to know everyone than to P-Party together. 
P-Party (P for People, Performance and Partnership) was a great chance for fancy dress and become Pirates, Porcelain Dolls, Pencils, Punks, Pensioners, Parisians, Pantomime characters and.. Poor People for a night. Yes, P for Poor People, original huh? Now you can see that there are some good, fun reasons behind those embarrassing pictures. In fact we won the ‘Best Dressed Team’ award! It was not the only award we were proud to get that night, we were also announced ‘Best Team in a Supporting Role’ – YAY!
Big thanks to Mask Events for organising such a great conference this year. It was lovely to see everyone. We can’t wait for the next year’s conference already!

Eme

Eme Essien

BIG congratulations to Eme Essien who is our LOLA employee of the month for March!

Eme is one of LOLA’s fantastic event staff. She’s worked for LOLA Staffing since June 2009 and is one of our most experienced catering staff and part of the LOLA Elite Team. Eme usually works on a position of ‘VIP Supervisor’, and she performed excellent at her first Event Management shifts.

AXA, Panasonic, Barclays, Helfords Media, The Halo Group and BUPA are just a few organisations that have benefitted from Eme’s great service.

We always receive positive feedback about Eme from our clients who describe her as a ‘standout performer’ and a person who ‘is not afraid to take initiative’.

Friends of Eme who had the pleasure to work with her at many events also praise Eme saying how ‘enthusiastic, hard-working and pleasure to work with’ she is.

Also special mention to Tatjana Vassiljeva who has been nominated as the ’LOLA Star’ this month and as a result we’re happy to offer a pay increase.

Many thanks girls, great job!

Payal's 20th Birthday!

Take a look at the pictures we took last night at the 20th birthday of Payal - our sister company from the Concerto Group. Diana, Piran, John, Madre, Steph and Eve from our office were there to celebrate with Payal on their big day. The venue – Delfina was decorated in the theme of a Mumbai Street Party and it looked absolutely amazing! There was a great selection of Indian food. Chickpea curry and tandoori salmon were delightful but our favourite was without a doubt Payal’s carrot cake - to-die-for! Event staff from LOLA were there too of course, serving the delicious food and drinks to the guests.

It was a truly great night! Thank you Payal and Happy Birthday once again!

Check out these Smurfingly Smurfastic pictures!

Take a look at our fun promotional staff dressed in the Smurf costumes! Our smurfastic promo staff joined the Smurf party organised by London Business School at the Abbey Bar at St Clare House. Our Smurfettes: Yvette, Tina and Ivana looked gorgeous in their girly blue dresses and cute Smurf hats. Our promotional model Thomas wore nothing but a hat and white trousers…  Showing off his smurfalicious chest and muscles we think Tom was a Vanity Smurf ;) Check out the pictures and see for yourself!
