Company mission
To help the world to celebrate better events by seamlessly connecting anyone planning an event with their perfect suppliers.
Our take
The company has been established after the founders (who are brothers) became aware of the difficulty of finding suppliers for events. They believed that anyone should be able to easily organise an event, thus they created Add to Event - a marketplace for event services.
Add to Event's mission is to simplify the process of finding, booking and managing event suppliers. Therefore, they set themselves apart in making it extremely easy for clients to find the services they are interested in, from food vans to wedding catering and arabian tents.
Their service has been used to find suppliers for over 100,000 events and they count BBC, Tesco, NHS, HSBC and J.P. Morgan among its users. Add to Event has recorded explosive growth recently as people have started organising events in a post covid era. Therefore the company's main priority is to recruit new talent which will contribute to its growth plans.

It's a team who really does care about what they do and delivering on the mission. Flat structure, which means I was discussing initiatives with the CO-founders in my first week and the team were so encouraging and enthusiastic. Collaborative working is huge and celebrating each others wins is an established culture in the company. Also the culture has been created where people really care for each other as people too which is wonderful and that is felt in all professional and person interactions with my colleagues.
