How do you feel Hire Space has invested in you and your professional development?
Hire Space commits a dedicated budget for every team member for learning and professional development and has actually gone above and beyond that to fund my ACCA exams, helping me to develop in my role and my career. They’ve also allowed me to dedicate work time to my study to help me balance work, life and study.

What aspect of Hire Space’s culture keeps you at the company?
Hire Space is one of the friendliest environments I can imagine working in. It feels like you can ask anyone anything, at any time, and you’ll get a warm and supportive answer, which in turn helps you to learn and develop. Opinions are genuinely valued, and open communication means everyone feels involved and invested in the company.

What’s your best experience you’ve had with Hire Space?
In 2019, I was invited to the NTAs (National Television Awards) by the O2. We got to walk down the red carpet, watch the ceremony in one of their VIP boxes and got to party with all the celebs at the afterparty!

What do you enjoy most about working for Hire Space?
Undoubtedly the best part about working for Hire Space is the team and the sense of family that we foster every single day. Everyone is so supportive and willing to help each other - there’s no competition or negativity. Aside from our amazing team, we get a lot of perks too, like extra days off and fun get-togethers.

Do you feel like your opinion matters at Hire Space?
Hire Space definitely listen to our views. As an example, when we challenged the number of holidays we had in Hire Space, the company decided to add two ‘Hire Space bank holidays’ for the whole company as well as an early finish on Fridays during summer time, which as you can imagine was very well received by the team!

What makes the company culture unique?
Hire Space has a generous, fun-loving and youthful culture. Whilst rare, that’s far from unique, but we have the benefit of in-house events experts and tonnes of collaborators in the venues and events industry that are always looking to improve their relationships with us as a market leader, which means our culture is supplemented by far greater access to incredible and varied experience than I can imagine any other company has.

What’s your best experience you’ve had with Hire Space?
I’ve had a lot of amazing experiences since I started working with Hire Space 8 months ago. From visiting quirky new venues on FAM trips, working at our annual trade show Event Lab to speaking with my brilliant clients about their exciting upcoming events. My top experience would definitely be attending the National Television Awards at the O2 last September! Being hosted in a corporate box and being surrounded by famous faces is definitely something I'll never forget.

How does Hire Space support your mental and physical health?
Hire Space does a great job of supporting the team's health and specifically have implemented a lot of structure and provide a lot of support around mental health. The company made a decision a few years ago to recognise mental health sickness the same as physical health sickness, and is open about taking mental health sick days. We have fully paid access to a coach & physchotherapist, whenever we want or need. There is a mental health first aider, and it's just definitely a very open company regarding mental health. Recently the company has announced more investment in the team's health, by provided a wellbeing budget to spend on whatever we like, be it gym membership, subscription to a wellbeing app, childcare, healthy eating... We're also doing a group 5k run in a couple of weeks. To top all this off, there is a lot of recognition at Hire Space to make sure everyone is aware of the great work being done around the company. Sales gongs and marketing enquiry results are lauded, yes, but there are awards given out across the company to recognise achievements in line with our company values.

What are some unique perks Hire Space offers to its employees?
Super flexible ways of working in terms of both hours e.g. +/- 3 hours GMT and remote/office balance. Where you can choose to be fully remote to everyday in the office and anywhere in between. The way you work is left entirely up to you, I think this one thing that sets hirespace apart, being actually fully flexible on the way each person wants to work.
