For the best events, you need to know the right people
We’ve been in the hospitality trade for over 20 years and therefore we know what works. And we also know exactly what we want in the people we hire – polite workers who share, reflect and believe in the values we’ve always held. So we think we’re good people to know when it comes to event staffing.
Making event history
At High Society, we’ve been supplying the very best hand picked staff and carefully tailored teams for all manner of events since 1998.
Over the years, we’ve learned more and more about the kind of people that work best for our clients, and we’ve used that knowledge to create a bespoke selection process that makes sure we have exactly the right people – both personally and professionally – who will make any event one to remember.
Not only do we hire people who are already polite, presentable, personable and positive, but we also train them to work to the very highest standards and always encourage them to take the initiative when faced with a challenge.

Biography : I started at High Society eight years ago as a shy gap year student. Since starting here, I have achieved a Psychology BSc and MSc and my confidence and skills in hospitality have significantly improved. After graduating I transitioned to an office role at High Society, taking on the position of HR and Recruitment Manager. My passion for improving the wellbeing of others inspired me to complete a Mental Health First Aid course. I now use these skills to help with the wellbeing of our staff.
Most memorable Event : Working at Tobacco Doc for the Rihanna Fenty X Puma collaboration. Tobacco Doc is a building like no other in London, and the event was very much the same. From the moment we walked in, we were quickly whisked away to change into forest green boiler suits and bright Fenty Pumas from the previous launch. The briefing provided clear guidance on our roles to ensure the event went as smoothly as possible. The team worked hard around the impressive backdrop of a waterfall of Fenty shoes and Rihanna herself! But the most memorable part of the event was the wonderful High Society Team.

We serve to help save more children's lives.
Proud to work with Great
Ormond Street Hospital
We are very proud to be a long-term supporter of Great Ormond Street, one of the UK’s most treasured charities. This incredible, pioneering institution works so hard to keep providing hope for sick children and their families and is also one of the world’s leading centres for breakthroughs in children’s medicine. That’s why we’ve been providing complimentary staff to GOSH for many years, helping the charity hold fundraisers and collect donations that truly can change lives.
