An events staffing agency, based in Coventry, has been shortlisted for a regional award.
Aesthetics Event Staff Ltd, which has offices at Electric Wharf, has made the final in the Service Provider of the Year (turnover above £1million) category at the Midlands Business Awards.
The company, which was founded by female entrepreneur Lee Thomas in 1996, now supplies staff to a range of venues, events and businesses including Wembley Stadium, the All England Tennis Club at Wimbledon, Arsenal, Tottenham, Silverstone, Fiat, Ferrari and Samsung.
The firm is up against five other companies from across the region in its category and will find out next February if it has picked up the award.
Thomas, who was also a runner-up in the 2013 Businesswoman of the Year this month, said: “We are delighted to be shortlisted for this award.
“We have grown into a very successful company with a range of clients that are a who’s who of the sporting, motoring and corporate world.
“That success is based solely on our commitment to customer service. We provide great service to our clients but, also, we are more often than not the face of their brand to their customers.
“That means we have to provide great service on two levels and the fact that, in the space of the past 18 months, we’ve had staff at the Olympics, the Champions League Final and a series of corporate and promotional events, shows the quality of work we are doing.
“In the past, we’ve hidden our light under a bushel somewhat but over recent months we have decided that it is time to actually give the company and our staff the credit they deserve for the work they put in.
“Of course, we would be thrilled to win the award next February but we are up against some fantastic companies and organisations so we know it will be tough.
“The shortlisting is further recognition of the work we are doing and that is a tribute to our office staff and to the many thousands of staff on our books worldwide.”
Aesthetics employs ten permanent staff at its base in Coventry and has 8,000 staff on its roster from across the globe.
The final of the Midlands Business Awards is being held on February 28 at the Birmingham Metropole Hotel.
