Our amazing teepees certainly tend to be the stars of the show but it’s our team that make us really stand out and this award would not have been possible without them.
We thought we’d introduce you to our awesome gang! In no particular order...
Jack
Joined BAR Events UK in - 2015 in its infancy and have seen it grow and flourish into one of the leaders in the industry.
Favourite part of my job - the wonderful locations we get to visit and seeing these places transformed into people’s dream event spaces.
Least favourite thing about life at BAR Events UK - My least favourite thing about working for Bar Events UK is cleaning carpets, they are the bane of my life.
Random fact about myself - once helped train husky dogs in Swedish Lapland (it didn’t end well).
Favourite drink - pre meal negroni, post meal old fashioned.
Dan
I started BAR Events uk in 2015 after growing BAR Staff UK into the events company it is today.
Favourite part of my job - I love the saying "Love what you do and you'll never work a day in your life" so for this reason we only do what we love. We have an awesome team that's fun to work with which is a massive part of loving your work.
Least favourite thing about life at BAR Events UK - The one job I put off is reconciling the accounts. To be honest it's a pretty slick and easy job but it's zero fun.
Random fact about myself - Apparently the width of your arms outstretched should match your height. My arms are wider than I am tall. Laura calls me ‘Go Go Gadget arms’.
Laura
Joined BAR Events UK in – all the way back in 2015 when Dan set up the company.
Favourite part of my job - The people! Our team are brilliant. I also get to meet some lovely clients and help them create their dream events - that’s pretty special.
Least favourite thing about life at BAR Events UK - Dan distracting me in the office!
Random fact about myself - I can speak Spanish (not fluent but I can get by).
Favourite drink - a classic gin and tonic - non of the flavoured nonsense.
Drop Laura a message now to start planning your dream event!
Sam
Joined BAR Events UK in – I think i started at the beginning of 2019 but cant be sure Covid has messed with time.
Favourite part of my job - the best thing about working for bar events is working outside in a different office each day topping up my t-shirt tan.
Least favourite thing about life at BAR Events UK - the worst thing is the carpets - laying them nailing them cleaning them and especially underlaying them.
Random fact about myself - in 2019 I was serving former England and British and Irish lions rugby union international and current head of world rugby just a few weeks after he presented the world cup to the South African captain.
Favourite drink - Guinness is my favourite pint. I'm quite famous around Guiseley for drinking it, but I'll take a glass/bottle of red, spiced rum and coke or a single malt whisky if you're asking.
Hannah
Joined BAR Events UK in - some time in 2017!
Favourite part of my job - That no day/ event is the same and working within a great team for a company that cares so much for staff and every client.
Least favourite thing about life at BAR Events UK - The size of our bars... too tall need to stand on a crate to be an acceptable height.
Random fact about yourself - My twin brother is a full foot taller than me and also a natural blonde.
Favourite drink - Dr Pepper on a weekday or a large gin and tonic.
Lewis
Joined BAR Events UK in - Summer 2022
Favourite part of my job - The team spirit to achieve greatness across all tasks and how much focus in placed into ensuring new starters like myself are brought up to speed in every department.
Random fact about myself - I was 1 inch away from losing all ability to walk on my left leg.
Favourite drinks - turbo diesel ( double vodka, cider & black)
Michael
Joined BAR Events UK - back in 2015 and then regular shifts from 2018.
Favourite part of my job - the amazing team of co workers and owners. No shift has ever felt like a chore, we get to work in some amazing surroundings, beautiful scenery and make friendships along the way.
Least favourite part of my job - I had to think real hard about this one. I would have to say the weather. Having unpredictable weather means it's sometimes difficult to prepare for what an event can be like. Sometime outside ceremonies or activities have to be quickly adapted.
Random fact about myself - I have regularly appeared on TV as an extra and odd frontline actor in shows like Midsomer Murders and the film London Has Fallen.
Favourite drink - Mojito or Jameson and Ginger Ale.
