Liverpool has a waterfront arena and convention centre, two Premier League clubs, the most famous race meeting in the country and a warehouse bar scene that never quite closes. We supply bar, floor, kitchen and event people on one national rate.
The arena and convention centre on the waterfront carry concerts, exhibitions and gala dinners side by side, often on the same night. Around the Albert Dock and Pier Head, hotels and museums host receptions and conferences. The Baltic Triangle, the Ropewalks and the streets off Bold Street run warehouse parties, launches and a busy late bar trade.
Sport sets the rest of the calendar. Two Premier League clubs run matchday hospitality from August to May. In April the Grand National meeting at Aintree brings three days of hospitality on a scale few events match. Along the coast and across the Wirral, golf, weddings and country-house events add summer weekends, and from November the city-centre Christmas market and office parties take over.
Salt Social People is based in Newcastle upon Tyne. We recruit a North West team alongside our Manchester people, on the same terms: interview, two references, a paid trial shift. At booking we tell you within two hours how many people we can fill locally. Where a job is bigger than our Merseyside bench on that date, we either fill the gap with our travelling core team, with travel and any hotel shown at cost, or tell you the number we can deliver. Nobody finds out on the day.
Liverpool and Merseyside are charged at the national rate. There is no regional uplift. Travel is at cost beyond 15 miles of the worker's base and is shown as its own line on the quote.
