LOLA Promotional Staff for Expedia

Take a look at the pictures of our beautiful hostesses working for Expedia. The world's largest online travel company had a party yesterday in their offices in the magnificent Angel Building, screening the England Ukraine match. Promotional staff from LOLA dressed up in football kits were there serving drinks, making cocktails, helping with the food and chatting to guests. They also spent some time with the guests on the beautiful roof palace. Ella and Amy from our promotional staff team contributed to the general ambiance of the party and made the watching of England winning the match and making it through to Euro quarterfinals even more enjoyable!

LOLA Waiting Staff at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show!

The waiting staff from LOLA had the pleasure to work at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show this May, and got a chance to see some amazing, modern, inventive gardens, new plants and ingenious products.
The Chelsea Flower Show has been held in the grounds of the Chelsea Hospital every year since 1913. It is Britain’s most prestigious flower show and most associated with the royal family, who attend the opening day every year. And guess what! Some of our lucky wait staff members were thrilled to see the Queen at the opening day this year!
We received some FANTASTIC feedback from the client about our precious waiters and waitresses! Check out for yourself! <blush>
‘Can I just say a big thank you to you and your staff for last week. I work at various venues throughout the UK and abroad. On most occasions the quality of Staff are fair to good, some need a bit of on the job training and some outshine others. On this occasion I can honestly say for the 1st time ever all of my staff were shining like stars. It was my pleasure and privilege to work with your staff, they are a credit to your Agency and themselves. I made a joke about being sick and tired of the amount of customers telling me how good they were, of the 4000+ people that came through the restaurant only one complained about the service level That to me was amazing, I talked to about 75% of the customers and those that I missed my other Managers captured. Considering that they were in at 6.00am through to 5pm, they were still smiling at the end of the day, and next morning when they came back, and it showed with the feedback from the customers. Everything we asked of them they did and more as well. I am pleased to say that we exceeded all expectations. I know I will be working with your staff again in the near future, and I am looking forward to it immensely. I did thank everyone, but can you pass on my thanks again.’

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 27^th 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!
