May was a busy month for the UK! Multiple bank holidays saw crowds swamp the roads and public spaces, Eurovision brought thousands of European tourists to Liverpool, and the Coronation led to street parties and packed pubs! These mass events were the perfect opportunity for companies to promote their brands, products and services- and many took advantage of this.

Push Promotions, therefore, supplied a variety of promotional events with our excellent staff throughout May. As always, all of our staff were professional, efficient, experienced, and enthusiastic, ensuring that they made each event the best that it could possibly be. Keep reading to find out more about some of our May promotional events:

The Big Event

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

Over 150 cars, Wheelchair Accessible Vehicles (WAVs), adaptions, powered wheelchairs and scooters (PWS) are available to view at the event. Expert speakers give talks on the Mobility Scheme and other related topics such as electric vehicles. Many of the talks are also live-streamed and available on demand once the event ends. Guests can test-drive vehicles, and there is even a children’s play area with a bouncy castle and face painting!

We supplied a team of 23 staff members for the 2-day event at Birmingham’s NEC. Staff also partook in a training day beforehand to ensure that they were fully prepared and ready to hit the ground running. Push has extensive experience supplying exhibition staff to events at the NEC, and we have lots of local staff available to save money on staff travel and accommodation costs.

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

Triple Two Coffee

Triple Two Coffee’s House Blend contains a blend of light and medium roast coffee beans from four different continents. As well as coffee, Triple Two Coffee also serve food at their nationwide locations. These include towns and cities such as Swindon, Cirencester, London and Bristol.

We supplied coffee shop brand ambassadors to help Triple Two Coffee celebrate the one-year anniversary of their Farringdon, London store! Our staff maintained high levels of energy throughout the day to encourage the public to join the celebrations. Our staff were handpicked for their enthusiasm and celebratory energy!

All hot medium drinks were priced at just £1 between 10 am and 3 pm in honour of the occasion, and so our brand ambassadors were responsible for keeping the queue orderly and chatting with customers whilst they waited. They used the queue time to raise further brand awareness with customers and drew attention to the coffee shop.

Additionally, staff distributed vouchers to passersby for future use. Staff were also supplied with branded hoodies to fully represent the brand.

Moreover, we have trained and experienced baristas on our staff database who are available for hire.

AJ Bell 

AJ Bell is a financial services company and sponsors the Great Run. Their mascot is a musical pig, and therefore our character costume staff got suited and booted as this pig! Our mascots always get truly stuck in- taking photos, attracting attention, dancing, and interacting with the crowd. Chaperones always work alongside the mascots to ensure their safety.

We continued our work with AJ Bell in May by supplying staff to AJ Bell’s Great Manchester Run. We provided a team of staff which included brand ambassadors, mascots and chaperones. As always our staff got enthusiastically stuck into the day’s events, entertaining the crowd and taking photos as AJ Bell’s musical pig mascot, distributing freebies, and encouraging (and celebrating with) the runners!

BSR Annual Conference

We were thrilled to be supplying registration staff to the BSR conference for the 2nd year in a row. Last year the conference took place in Glasgow, and this year it was held in Manchester. The BSR (British Society for Rheumatology) Annual Conference is a 3-day event. It allows attendees to learn from field experts about the latest developments in rheumatology, discover new research, plus posters, symposia, and exhibitions, network, partake in well-being activities, and earn CPD credits.

Push provided a team of efficient, professional and personable registration staff to work at the conference. Our staff make the registration process a quick and fuss-free experience for event attendees. They create an exemplary first impression for your event.

Once registration is complete, registration staff can complete other duties such as serving drinks, promotional & hospitality duties, distributing leaflets, and general event support. We often supply staff to hand out goodie bags and branded products, which can also be prepared by our staff beforehand.

London Olympia Registration Staff

We also provided a team of registration staff to work at the London Olympia in May at an exhibition. As aforementioned, our registration staff can do much more than simply complete registration duties.

Secret Cinema

We worked with Secret Cinema in Birmingham again in May (after our April Letterman photoshoot). This time our real models were dressed in Grease-themed 1950s outfits to help promote their summer Grease performances. They even posed with a pink 1948 Ford Studebaker Commander Regal Deluxe, reminiscent of the Pink Ladies famous vehicle in the movie. Our models can be hired for photo shoots, PR and product launches, general promotional events, fashion shows, automobile shows, and more.

Push Promotions May Promotional Event Staff

Push can therefore supply a large variety of experienced and professional promotional staff to events and campaigns across the UK. We have over 3000 staff members on our books so are near guaranteed to have whatever you require! Additionally, all of our staff undergo a thorough interview process before being hired, as well as an onboarding process before each individual shift. This ensures that they know exactly what is expected of them during their shifts, know when and where to be, and are familiar with the promotion activity. In addition to the above staff members, we can also supply product demonstrators, sales staff, data capture staff, and more!
