Promotional Activity at Kingston Carnival

Here is a picture of 3 of our gorgeous promo girls that took part in the promotional activity for Harlequins Football Club in Kingston Carnival last Sunday!

The theme of the event was: ‘One Kingston. One World. Celebrating Diverse Cultures!’ and LOLA promo girls definitely could feel the spirit! Their colourful uniforms and huge smiles matched well to the overall atmosphere of the Carnival.

Chilly weather and occasional showers did not stop our lovely promo girls from doing a great job even for a minute!

As you can see, LOLA promotional staff brightens up even a rainy day!

 

 

Employee of the Month

Paula Juskiewicz

We are very proud to announce that our Employee of the Month of August is our intern-turned-Office Manager Paula Juskiewicz.

Paula started as a Core Team member being a part of both LOLA catering staff and promotional staff and jumped at the opportunity to do our Summer 2011 Internship. After doing a great job for 3 months we just couldn’t let her go!

She is now the first point of contact between the LOLA office and the LOLA team and has been absolutely brilliant at handling client enquires and quotes. Plus, she already has a big Wembley signing in session under her belt!

Well done, Paula!

Also special mention to Tatiana Arakaki, one of our fabulous event staff members who has been nominated as a ‘LOLA Star’ this month and as a result we are happy to offer a pay increase.

Thanks again guys, great job!

Sam Odotei

A BIG congratulations to Samantha Odotei who is our LOLA employee of the month for June.

Sam has just recently completed a very successful Summer run as an Ambassador where she was keeping an eye on some of our newer staff at our key venues.

This year Sam has worked across a huge variety of roles from providing Silver Service for one of the city’s premier law firms to VIP Livery Hall dinners across some of the Livery Halls we work in such as Plaisterers Hall.

Saracens Rugby Club, Zurich, The Jamaican High Commission and KPMG are just a few organisations that have benefitted from Sam’s great service.

Currently Andres is the main man directing the team behind the bars at one of our biggest Summer projects – The Honourable Artillery Club. This involves managing up to a team of 20 staff on events that range anywhere from 300-1200 guests.

So far we’ve heard nothing but praise from our clients and staff about the job Andres has been doing onsite.

Thanks very much Andres for a great start to Summer and your fantastic contribution over the years!

Here’s a few of the LOLA Promotional Staff snapped helping out at the London Food & Wine Fair.

Kids Company Superheroes Fun Run

Last Sunday’s Kids Company Fun Run was a chance for the LOLA team to both help a worthy cause and honour some true superheroes.

While most runners on the 5km course went for Superman, Batman and Spiderman; Duncan and Kate decided on The Hoff & Pammy. The justification? They wear less clothes, have more muscles and save more lives than your average superhero.

Some other notable mentions we saw on the day were Gingerbread Man, Buzz Lightyear (and mini Buzz) and Wolfman.

Hoff and Pammy finished credibly somewhere in the middle of the pack, ahead of a slightly chubby Wolverine and behind and elderly Wonder woman.

It was a lovely day and a pleasant Sunday run through Regent’s Park for a great charity. Well done guys.

LOLA's Grace is music to MUFC's ears

Dr. Dre’s L.A. office called on the LOLA promotional team last week to help them make an international delivery.  LOLA’s lovely new promo girl Grace got the call up as they came to Manchester to launch Dre’s new Beats headphones at the Manchester United training ground.

Sets were personalised for the full Manchester United team, and presented by Grace to each individual player in between their very busy training schedule.  A lot of fun was had by all, though we’re not sure who was the bigger hit, Grace or the headphones…

LOLA Team Supporting our charity - Kids Company

Some of the LOLA team escaped the office for the day and joined the gang from Kids Company at Falconbrook Primary School in Clapham for a day of cooking with the kids.

The kids were a very happy, very fun band of sixth graders who revelled in the attention from the LOLA ‘so-called cooking experts. We made omlettes, cous-cous and smoothies. Most of the food went down very well and anything green on the plate went on the floor or in the bin! It seems we still have a way to go to encourage healthy eating.

Nevertheless, it was a fabulous day and a very worthwhile cause. Anyone reading this blog we urge you to get behind Kids Company, a great charity doing some wonderful work for many children across the country.

This has nothing to do with work but is quite funny. Piran, Lucy, Diana and Kate looking hot.

A BIG congratulations to Alexandra Alvarez who is our LOLA employee of the month for March.

The Only Way is Essex - Vajazzle launch

Some of our sexy LOLA promotional staffing ladies had the pleasure of being ‘Vajazzled up’ for the launch of a TOWIE collaboration with Vajazzle Me (www.vajazzle.me.uk) last night.

One of the show's stars Mark Wright seemed more than happy to promote the product as he posed with a group of our gorgeous promo girls at the launch in London yesterday.

Grinning as he pointed to the diamante embellishment on our promotional staff member Elizabeth Eastman's stomach, Mark lived up to his player reputation at the event, held at Signor Sassi Italian restaurant in Knightsbridge.

The popularity of the vajazzle, where diamantes are placed delicately on a woman's nether regions, has increased massively and of course we here at LOLA were only happy to be on hand to help.

Re-launch of St Pancras Hotel

The team at LOLA have been very excited to have been involved with the re-launch of the St Pancras Hotel under the new Renaissance name.

The hotel, developed by Manhattan Loft Corporation, opened 138 years, to the day, since the original hotel’s grand opening in 1873. We have been involved with all the staffing teams for the VIP events in the lead up and we even featured last night on BBC with the Royal Academy of Arts event being televised.

The £150m renovation of the 245‐room hotel consists of the historic St Pancras Chambers that will house 38 Victorian bedroom suites, and Barlow House, the newly created 120,000 sq ft extension that will feature original artwork and contemporary design.

The hotel will also house a 350 capacity ballroom, a private club, a barber’s shop and luxury spa, to include a swimming pool and 7 treatment rooms.

Manhattan Loft Corporation won the competition for the restoration of Sir George Gilbert Scott’s Grade I listed hotel in 2002.

Thank you to the team at St Pancras for placing trust in our LOLA Event Staffing team and we’re looking forward to the future.

LOLA Staff Party

Thank you to everyone that attended our staff party last night at Tiger Tiger. I hope you all enjoyed yourselves.

So far today I have heard of a few romances, a few rejections, one fight and a lot of McDonalds. So all in all I guess that makes it a good night!

Special thanks to Diana for organising the evening and Kate for managing the bar (and insisting on cleaning up glasses despite being ordered to relax!)

If anyone has photos it would be great if you could upload these to the LOLA Staffing facebook page. And any comments and stories would be welcomed (especially any dirt!)

PS Who was that mysterious old, very weird guy with the cravat sitting in the corner of our party all night????

LOLA Promotional Staff at the Usher After Party

Following a fantastic night at the Official Usher OMG Tour our LOLA Promotional Staff provided their services as hostesses at the After Show Party at the IndigO2.

Very excited to be spending the evening with Usher at the Intimate LIVE music arena the IndigO2 the promotional staff looked super hot in their Remi Martini sponsored outfits.

Guests were treated to music by Swerve, Tommy Smalls and Ironic and of course some smooth talking by the man himself, who is ‘filling Michael Jackson’s shoes’ (according to his performance on the night). We heard he’s a pretty damn good dancer so I guess we can’t argue with him!

Thanks to Remi Martini and everyone at 02 and a BIG thanks to LOLA Music Management for the booking. Great name!

Great LOLA Staff promote Good Vibes Gym

The LOLA promo girls donned their lycra and hit the streets yesterday to promote the Good Vibes Gym. With some seriously eye catching colourful leggings and some exceptional voucher deals to promote the promotional staff were hard to miss.  

Good Vibes are London's leading boutique Power Plates studios. We are told they are a popular choice of gym because of their brilliant trainers, happy staff, eclectic music and mint tea on tap. The spaces are light and bright with a few eccentric touches and as far removed from the corporate gym experience as is possible. Not sure how much mint tea our promotional staff drank but regardless of the tea content they had a great day.

Power Plates accelerated vibration training means that you can work out your whole body in speedy 25 minute classes and then… get on with your day.

Sounds practical….and fun!
