EVENT TEAMS

Well served by ambition.

The Hickory team are the heartbeat of our business, and we’re proud to not use agency staff. Instead, we are committed to paying a Living Wage and training everyone in-house. This process means that our people are always well-turned out and prepared to serve all guests equally, whether that’s your best customer, your CEO or Great Aunt Maud who’s a stickler for having her champagne poured properly.

Everything is tailored.

And that includes getting the right people to your event. We know exactly who to call forward. Whether you need smart silver servers, staff who can mingle well or disappear into the background, so all eyes are on the stage.

Event Planners

Some people are born with heightened organisational powers. They pull a team together around a task and make it look easy. Those are the super-skills we look for in our Event Managers. Always looking ahead. Always anticipating issues. Always there on the ground to support the team and keep things on track.

Training for everyone

We use an online training platform to invest in the career training of our amazing front line teams – MyHickory ‘Aspire’: FLOW Hospitality. This leading-edge digital platform provides easy-to-digest online learning modules, helping us ensure that even our seasonal temps have access to high quality hospitality training. Which in turn provides the best experience for our clients, and enhanced career opportunities for the people who work with us.

Tech & Training

We use a bank of inspiring tools to invest in the careers of our amazing front line team, including leading-edge, digital training and management platforms. As well as connecting with working initiatives to improve the standards of the industry.

Brian Galbraith
Executive Director

Our award-winning food, drink and service is premium. When you set the bar high for incredible hospitality you need incredible people to deliver in the moment at every event.

Our Event Teams are hand-picked for their personality, presence, ability to think on their feet and communicate with confidence. We invest heavily in training and development from apprenticeship level right up to senior management leadership coaching. Because when your event is in full swing, you need to know that we are as invested in the success of your event as you are. Ask any member of our team how they feel about delivering impeccable service and you’ll have all the reassurance you need.
