Esprit
Esprit is the front of house arm of the Esprit Group. This division offers a comprehensive list of job roles which can be hired in any number of different combinations in order to best fulfil the demands of your event. Our staff all join us as waiters and waitresses and through a detailed training and development process, grow into the more senior roles we offer. This means all of our onsite managers have experience performing many roles of varying responsibility levels which we believe makes them the most rounded in the industry.
Esprit is a team made up of a swathe of professional people including artists, fashion designers, architects and students from many disciplines who will go on to do great things, not just in this industry, but in the world at large.
