Love what you do
A clear strategy is essential to any business growth. But a strategy is nothing without the right people to bring it to life.
We firmly believe that our success depends on our people. We want every single person at First Event to love what they do, and to be proud of the experiences they create.

You won’t find a workplace culture like ours.
There’s a reason why we’ve been featured on The Sunday Times Best Places to Work list two years in a row.
We’re a close-knit community dedicated to providing a seamless service to deliver amazing results for our clients.
When we’re not crafting jaw-dropping experiences for our clients, we also make sure we have a lot of fun along the way.

Our values
Our team is made up of so many different personalities, experiences, and motivations. No matter how different we are, we’re united by our core First Event values, which sum up the kind of people we’re looking for.
These are the values that bring us together, make us a force to be reckoned with, and help us deliver the outstanding events we’re globally recognised for.
We are employee-owned
Learning and growing, together
We decide, as a team, what the future of First Event looks like, and how we get there. In 2021, we became an employee-owned company. Not only did this cement our strong workplace ethos, but it also secured our independence and flexibility for the future.
Our employee council, made up of members across all departments, works closely with our management team to provide a positive and encouraging environment for everyone who works here to flourish and thrive.

Company get togethers
We all get together four times a year for our company wide strategy days to talk all things business. But we don’t just work hard, we play hard too!
Learning
To ensure everyone in the business has the skills they need to smash their job role, we get together every quarter as a team for internal training at an exciting offsite location.
