From high turnover to skills gaps, organisers are now rethinking how to attract, train, and retain experienced teams for everything from weddings to large-scale festivals. With flexible contracts, fair pay, and technology-driven scheduling platforms reshaping recruitment, the focus is shifting from quick fixes to long-term solutions. It’s a people-first approach that’s helping event hire companies build stability, improve service quality, and make the UK events sector stronger than ever.
