When it comes to delivering a seamless event, the right crew is everything. Whether it’s a high-profile corporate meeting, a major automotive showcase, or a large-scale seasonal installation, having an expert event team behind the scenes ensures everything runs like clockwork. At Alpha Crew, we’ve staffed some of Europe’s biggest events - from the McDonald’s AGM to the Paris Motor Show and high-profile Christmas installations - so we know what it takes to build the perfect team for every event type.
Choosing the Right Event Crew for Different Event Types
1. Corporate Events & AGMs: Precision and Professionalism
There’s no doubt about it. Corporate events require a team that is highly professional, efficient and discreet. When we staffed McDonald’s AGM, attention to detail was paramount with lots of expectations.
We ensured crew members were well-presented and personable, executions of AV setups, stage builds and seating arrangements were smooth and most importantly, that our team stuck to strict schedules and security protocols.
To put it simply, corporate events need polished, adaptable staff who can operate under strict time constraints, while maintaining a professional demeanour throughout.
2. Large-scale Exhibitions: Strength and Expertise
It’s true that exhibitions are complex operations that always require a skilled workforce who are capable of handling large-scale builds, intricate logistics and heavy equipment with ease. At the Paris Motor Show, Alpha Crew provided:
A team with expertise in staging, stand construction, and AV setups
Problem-solving skills for last-minute adjustments
Experienced crew members who easily worked alongside international production teams
3. Seasonal Installations: Adaptability and Efficiency
One of our most popular seasonal installations has to be Christmas - and with that often come unique challenges. These often include tight deadlines, unpredictable weather, and late-night or early-morning shifts to avoid disrupting busy public spaces.
Seasonal installations usually involve speedy and efficient setups, regular problem-solving when working with unconventional spaces and a team with a high level of endurance and adaptability.
For seasonal events, you need a team that can easily work under pressure, execute flawless setups within tight timeframes and adapt quickly.
At Alpha Crew, we provide industry-leading event crew to the most prestigious production companies and venues worldwide. Since 2014, we’ve grown from a small team of 10 to a powerhouse of over 200, operating in London, Manchester, Glasgow, Paris, Manchester and the South of France.
Whether you need a corporate team, exhibition specialists or installation experts, Alpha Crew has the vital experience, expertise and determination to bring your event to life.
