Glasgow has an arena and exhibition campus on the Clyde, three major football stadiums and a year-round concert and conference trade. We can supply bar, floor, kitchen and event teams on the national rate, and we tell you honestly where they come from.
The exhibition and arena campus on the north bank of the Clyde hosts some of the biggest concert nights in the UK, as well as conferences and exhibitions that run for days at a time. In the city centre, the Merchant City, the hotels around George Square and the bars and restaurants of Finnieston and the West End carry corporate dinners, launches and a strong late trade.
Football sets its own rhythm, with hospitality at three major stadiums and cup finals and concerts at the national stadium. Summer brings big music weekends on Glasgow Green, January brings the city's winter music festival, and from November the Christmas markets and office parties fill the centre. Outside the city, country houses around Loch Lomond and across Ayrshire book full floor teams for weddings.
Salt Social People is an English company based in Newcastle upon Tyne, around two and a half to three hours from Glasgow by train. We can supply teams in Glasgow, but our local bench there is small today. For most Glasgow bookings, some or all of the team will be our travelling core team, with rail travel and hotel shown at cost on their own lines, alongside any Glasgow-based people we have taken on. That works best for multi-day jobs, like a conference or an exhibition run, and for bookings made with some notice. At booking we confirm within two hours who is coming and what travel adds.
Glasgow is charged at the national rate. There is no regional uplift. Where people travel from Newcastle, rail travel, accommodation at cost and meals at £20 per person per day are shown as separate lines on the quote.

Every client booking carries the same five guarantees, written into our terms of business.
Written, itemised, ex VAT, 8am to 8pm every day. Three hours outside that.
Your account manager's mobile is on the booking confirmation, answered on any day we have people working.
Anyone not right? Tell us in the first hour. No charge for them and a replacement on the way.
New clients get one person for one four-hour shift free on their first booking. See what you are buying.
Names confirmed within two hours of booking. If we cannot fill a position we say so at booking, never on the day.
Yes, with honesty about how. Our local bench is small, so most Glasgow teams today include people who travel from our Newcastle base. We confirm within two hours of booking who is coming, and what travel and hotel add.
No. The national rate card applies: Core £25.00, Skilled £28.00, Lead £34.00, senior chef £40.00 per hour ex VAT. Travel and accommodation are shown at cost on their own lines.
Under the Licensing (Scotland) Act 2005, anyone serving alcohol on licensed premises needs the statutory staff training, recorded by the premises licence holder. Tell us at booking how your premises handles it and we make sure our people have it before they pour.
Usually, yes. A conference week or an exhibition run lets us send one travelling team and spread the travel cost over several days. For a single short shift, we will tell you honestly if travel makes it poor value.
No. Door supervision needs an SIA licence and we refer that to a licensed partner. We do supply stewards, admissions and event crew.
