In my experience, Aesthetics provide consistently professional, adaptable and high-quality staff who make a huge difference to the success of our UK event. I’ve worked on the London E-Prix for several years now, and every season the process with Aesthetics has been smooth, straightforward and supportive from start to finish. Communication in the planning stages is easy, they’re always receptive to change, and most importantly, they really understand events. That flexibility is so valuable in live environments where things can shift right up to the last minute.
We’ve worked with other staffing providers in different markets, and some of them can be rigid, with fixed deadlines that make adapting to real-world changes difficult. With Aesthetics, it’s the complete opposite. They take the time to understand how Formula E operates, and they’re solution-driven at every turn. A good example was in Season 10 when we experienced a substantial rain delay that kept staff on site for an extra two hours. Making those changes was incredibly easy, the team adjusted instantly without issue. That kind of responsiveness makes all the difference.
Our staffing needs are diverse, covering everything from hospitality teams to event runners and workforce operations. Aesthetics always take the time to understand what each role involves and match the right people to each function. The hospitality staff always come with relevant experience and the right attitude, while the runners are proactive, practical and quick to adapt. The scope of what we ask for is broad, and they consistently deliver across all areas. It’s also a huge help that they build in backup staff to cover any last-minute drop-offs, so there’s never a gap on site.
Another real strength is the consistency year on year. For us, that’s invaluable. Knowing that familiar faces will be back each season makes a big difference. Those returning staff act as informal mentors for new team members and take pressure off our own internal team. They also retain vital knowledge about the event, which makes operations smoother every season.
Aesthetics also support us with workforce operations on site. Their supervisors play a key role in briefing, onboarding and deploying teams, and they’re the ones checking in with staff to ensure everyone feels supported and empowered in their roles. That layer of leadership means we can be confident the wider team is fully prepared and well looked after throughout the event.
Another aspect that stands out is how proactive the team is in helping us innovate. They’re always open to new ideas and quick to respond to evolving needs, often suggesting creative solutions before we’ve even asked. Whatever the requirement, no matter how specific, Aesthetics always seem to find exactly the right people for the role. Their ability to match skillsets and personalities to each position really strengthens our overall delivery on site.
From my experience, Aesthetics really do tick every box. They’re involved in planning, responsive to change, deliver to the highest standards and consistently go the extra mile. The whole process feels collaborative, professional and human. They make a complex event easier, and that’s something I truly value.
