In early 2018, we acquired the boutique events agency, Dazzle People. The company had been in the events industry for over 25 years and was established as a trusted brand, bringing together talented people with well-known brands to help deliver amazing events.

The acquisition ensured a high level of service to the existing clients of Dazzle People such as Microsoft, UBS, Imperial Corporate Events, Thomson Reuters (now Refinitiv) and Vitality to name a few.

“The acquisition of Dazzle People back in 2018 meant we were able to grow our business by over 50%, a fantastic achievement in such a short period of time,” says Nicola Harris, Co-Founder at Pinnacle Event Staff. 

As part of the agreement, we also gained a growth in databases of tried and tested event staff which ensured we were able to continue providing the highest quality staff for past events meaning there was a smooth handover between both companies.

“We are always committed to delivering first-class events and client experiences so when we inherited the staffing platform it made a big difference to our operations, making us more efficient, payroll much easier and lots of uniforms were now available to offer to our clients as an added service,” says Elisa Drummond, Co-Founder at Pinnacle Event Staff.

A year on from the acquisition, it is clear that bringing together the wealth of experience from both agencies has been a success. Pinnacle Event Staff has retained all of the clients acquired and have developed these accounts into regular event bookings throughout the year. We are also pleased to announce that we have won new business in 2019 ensuring that our brand and services are continuing to grow in the right direction.

We are thrilled to announce that we will now be working with a new software system called LIVEFORCE.

LIVEFORCE, is an on-demand workforce software platform, which will assist us in booking, scheduling, managing and paying our workforce for all our future events.

The new booking system allows our staff to create a personal profile, which is accessible from their phones and will provide them with 5 key features:

  • A job board showing all jobs with an easy application process
  • A personalised calendar with an overview of the jobs they have been confirmed for, invited to or applied to
  • Notifications to keep them updated on important changes or new jobs available
  • Easy format to submit timesheets and expenses
  • An earnings page to track expected income each month

“Our old system was time-consuming and we wanted a system that gave our staff the freedom to research new jobs available, apply easily and keep track of what jobs they have been assigned to. The system will also allow us to manage our payroll efficiently and effectively and will give staff the ability to track what they are owed and when they have been paid. LIVEFORCE does all of this and more so we are really looking forward to putting our staff in control and for us all to work more accurately and smoothly,” said Elisa Drummond, Co Founder at Pinnacle Event Staff. 

LIVEFORCE will be rolled out to our staff immediately and we are hoping to see an instant change.
