Kru Live Appointed As Our UK Staffing Partner

Posted by Ben Crook on 18 October 2017

We are excited to announce that we have appointed Kru Live, the Staffing and Entertainment agency, as our exclusive staffing partner for our Managed Event service in the UK, supporting over 1,200 annual events which raise vital funds for charity. The addition of Kru Live will ensure guests at such events will have a seamless experience and fantastic onsite support using our silent auction and pledging fundraising technology moving forward.

This collaboration marks the beginning of a promising partnership between our two like-minded and driven businesses who share a vision of delivering an experience of excellence.

“We managed things in house successfully for a number of years but, our ever-increasing demand by charities has meant that it was time to handover the reigns to staffing specialists that are recognised for a service of excellence. This enables our team to get back to the job in hand helping our charity clients raise more through our technology. We needed to be meticulous in our agency selection process however as having the right staff at our events is paramount; it was clear that Kru Live were the best fit for our brand and most importantly our clients and we are hugely excited by the partnership, Jonathan Douglas, COO, Givergy.

Sarah-Jane Benham, Managing Director at Kru Live comments, Early conversations highlighted a clear synergy between our two companies; both ambitious in our outlook and passionate about looking after our people; we are confident our partnership will only strengthen each others business further. As Givergy continues to grow as the leader in their sector, our partnership will also see us providing bespoke entertainment and celebrity auctioneers, including the likes of Jonny Gould and Adger Brown.

Both Givergy and Kru Live look forward to supporting you at your next fundraising event.
