Promotional staff are hired to complete various duties for various companies at various events. There is no end to what a good team of promotional staff can do. They can distribute leaflets into the hands of your target audience, present and hand out product samples, and complete complex event registration. Promotional staff can also host exhibition stands, complete data capture work to collect valuable customer feedback, scan tickets at event entrance points, and carry out product demonstrations. Such staff work at interactive and guerilla marketing campaigns in multiple capacities, dress as mascots, and assist speakers at conferences! There is truly nothing promotional staff cannot do.

NEC Birmingham

The NEC Birmingham, also known as the National Exhibition Centre, is one of the largest and most renowned exhibition and event venues in the United Kingdom. Located in Birmingham, England, the NEC is a prominent complex that hosts a wide range of events, such as exhibitions, and trade shows. The venue covers over 611 acres of land. It consists of multiple interconnected halls, totaling more than 186,000 square meters of event space. Exhibitions and trade shows hosted here cover industries such as automotive, healthcare, technology, fashion, leisure, and more. Promotional staff are necessary for such events to host exhibition/trade-show stands, answer Q&As, help set up the event, and more.

The NEC also hosts live entertainment performances, and large-scale concerts featuring international artists. These often take place at Resorts World Arena next door to the NEC. Each of these events sees thousands upon thousands of people through the NEC’s doors. Promotional staff are required at such events to safely scan all tickets upon entry, sell merchandise, work at bars and eateries, and assist in VIP lounges.

Moreover, the NEC offers state-of-the-art conference facilities suitable for corporate events, meetings, seminars, and conventions. It provides a range of meeting rooms and versatile spaces for different business needs. At conferences, our promotional staff register attendees, assist speakers, manage room capacities, and more.

Furthermore, Birmingham International train station and airport are both within walking distance. They provide excellent transport links for those attending events at the NEC. There are also hotels, shops, and sporting facilities near the NEC, attracting further tourists to the area.

1. The Caravan, Camping & Motorhome Show

The Caravan, Camping And Motorhome Show is the UK’s biggest leisure vehicle show. We worked with the NCC, to provide pre-registration staff, registration staff and a mobile information team to the exhibition.  It takes place at Birmingham’s NEC. We have been supplying staff to the event for several years now!

Pre-registration staff act as the first point of contact for the show’s 350+ exhibitors and make sure that their checking-in process is smooth and efficient. Our registration staff then oversee the arrival of the exhibition’s 100,000+ guests in a quick and friendly manner.

Moreover, the mobile information team is proactive and supportive to visitors who seek assistance and information during their time at the exhibition. They are easily visible with backpacks and large ‘info’ flags. The team is part of the onsite operations team, and needs to be warm, friendly, reliable and confident to reassure and assist visitors who may be overwhelmed by the crowd and size of the event.

2. The Big Event

The Big Event is free to attend and is the largest display of vehicles available on the Motability Scheme. 

We supplied a team of 23 staff members for each day of the 2-day event at Birmingham’s NEC. Staff also partook in a training day beforehand. This ensured that they were all fully prepared and ready to hit the ground running once The Big Event got underway.

Staff worked in various roles at the exhibition- from golf buggy drivers and stewards to kids’ zone staff and test drive bookers. Costume character staff and associated chaperones were also provided. We truly got stuck into every part of the event- ensuring its smooth running, efficiency and ultimate success!
