Partnership underlines every element of the Mash Manifesto.

We are so highly thought of because of the emphasis we put on our relationship with our field staff, affectionately known as ‘Mashers’, and the resource we dedicate to ensuring that our community feels valued, supported and motivated to deliver the very best staffing solution in the UK.

We have built this business on a respect driven manifesto based on the following principles;
> Recruit only the best promotional staff in the market.
> Recruit based on charisma and personality rather than just looks.
> Train and support all staff.
> Reward excellence.
> Do not tolerate average.
> Open, honest communication at all times.
> Remain open and objective, listening to all perspectives.
> Performance manage from brand ambassadors through to event managers.
> Be open to constructive feedback.
> Assist in career development.

Our Senior Brand Champion Christiana Dobbie recently held a 3 day Recruitment Event at the Marriot Hotel in Central Birmingham and the results and quality of new ‘Mashers’ on board has been outstanding.

Whittling down 145 applications to 55 interview slots is hard enough but then ensuring that only the very best succeed and proceed to full Mash Registration is no easy challenge. We are delighted to welcome on board 40 new Mashers in the Midlands who all successfully completed a detailed application on Moogle and were then taken through a series of role plays, interactive learning sessions, fun quizzes, Q&A sessions and of course, the ‘Mash Manifesto’.

As well as all of this, our new Mashers have had to display passion, integrity, charisma and confidence as well as many more  traits from the very first application right through interview and will now carry these key values into the field for Mash.

We deliberately don’t make it easy to get on to the Mash books as we want to ensure we add value to the process from the very first moment you engage with us via Moogle.

Look out for more interview days coming in an area near you soon and remember; “You don’t get a second chance to make a first impression”.

If you want high-energy in your promotion, then you should look no further than Agata Madurowicz. Agata joined Mash in September 2009 and since then has contributed hugely to a number of key campaigns for Mash.

When Agata says she is an ‘energetic and proactive’ employee in her personal statement on Moogle - she really means it and we - along with our many partner brands - feel the benefit of it as her performances over the last 8 months have been outstanding.

Agata happily agrees that working on the Rayban Campaign at the Isle of Wight Festival in June was a Mashing highlight to date….you only need to look at her video on the Mash Fan Page on Facebook to see how much she enjoyed that.

Those are the kinds of jobs out there for top and consistent performing Mashers so get involved and give it your all!

Look out for July’s Masher of the Month coming soon!

Flash Sushi is bringing the shadowy Japanese tradition of Nyotaimori, the art of eating sushi off a naked female body, back to London until March this year.
For centuries this rare practice was the preserve of Japan’s elite, but has been brought to the event scene in London, with reportedly high demand.

Flash Sushi will offer a limited number of places until March 2010, when the concept ends.

Diners are invited to varying locations at different times of the month. Once you have a confirmed place at the Flash Sushi table, the dinner’s location is divulged 24 hours prior to the event.

All locations are within Central London, and diners are alerted by SMS message.

Between 12 and 24 other gastro thrill-seekers will gather at each session for a champagne reception before taking seats for a ten-course, seasonal Omakase style sushi dinner.

This is a great week down at Mash Towers. After 4 years of hard endeavour, thousands of hours of hard graft and a lot of standing on soap boxes and talking about how our industry needed to change, we have won our first GOLD award for excellence. The ISP Award for Service Partner of the Year 2009 is in recognition of our added value partnership with our client BMT and all of the dedication and focus that has gone in to delivering the hugely successful School Foods Trust campaign.

We are passionate advocates of great promotional staffing, disciples of excellence and real supporters of change through innovation in our sector. We are immensely proud to have been recognised with this award and want to thank all of our fantastic clients, partners who have had the foresite to allocate their staffing fulfilment to us as their specialists and work with us as partners rather than clients, thereby providing the dynamic that has enabled us to innovate and perpetually improve our product and service offering. We would also like to send a huge thanks to our wonderful book of brand ambassadors, our Mashers. Through their dedication and commitment to our business, they have enabled us to over deliver on our campaigns, raising the bar in staffing fulfilment and adding substance and credibility to our ‘excellence in staffing’ mantra.

Thank you one and all!

Slow Down London Week is coming!

Slow Down London is a new project to inspire Londoners to improve their lives by slowing down to do things well, rather than as fast as possible. There are some great events on over the week encouraging people to look at our beautiful city in all its splendour and glory.

http://slowdownlondon.co.uk/category/events/

The Slow Down London campaign will hold a festival (24 April - 4 May 2009) offering activities and inspiration, through working with a range of partners. It will give Londoners a chance to explore slow music and arts, to try meditation and yoga, to sample slow food and crafts, to discover ’slow travel’ in our own city, to debate ideas about time and pace, and to find our own ways to challenge the cult of speed and to appreciate the world around us. You can view the full event programme here:

The campaign also hopes to create longer-term networks and opportunities for trying life at a slower pace and enjoying improved quality, creativity and wellbeing.
