At Mint People, we provide fully trained, highly presentable, and dependable staff to the hospitality, leisure, and events industries. Whether it’s one bartender for a last-minute shift or 150 staff for a stadium event, we’re trusted by some of the UK’s best hotels, venues, and operators to deliver quality people – fast.
With over 10 years’ experience, we’ve become known as one of the most reliable and forward-thinking staffing partners in the North – and beyond. From front-of-house professionals to kitchen porters, housekeepers to event managers, our people are trained in-house through our 5-star onboarding and briefing programme to ensure they’re ready to hit the ground running.
Our clients come back year after year because we understand how unpredictable hospitality can be – and we’re built to flex with it. We’re proud to work with national hotel groups, global event brands, leading caterers and independent operators, offering:
• Fast, flexible staffing solutions – no long contracts or tie-ins
• Fully trained, presentable and prepared people
• Front and back of house cover – including chefs, kitchen teams, bar staff, waiters, housekeepers and more
• Festival and stadium-scale team deployment
• National reach with local knowledge
• On-site support and account management
Our quality promise? We only send people we’d trust to represent our own brand – because they are our brand.
If you need staffing support that’s consistent, stress-free and built around you – you’re in the right place.
Mint People – We've got you covered.
