Mint People: hospitality and events staffing from Widnes

Mint People is a staffing agency based at Glebe Business Park in Widnes, Cheshire, operating under the banner of national staffing solutions. Its core activity is the supply of temporary and fixed-term personnel to the hospitality, events and leisure sectors, a field in which it has worked for more than ten years. The company states that its management and consultancy team previously worked in hospitality, events and agency roles, and presents that background as the basis for understanding client requirements.

Alongside hospitality and events, the agency covers contract catering, festivals, warehouse and industrial work, and cleaning and housekeeping. It also advertises permanent and fixed-term placements and promotional staffing.

Teams supplied across hospitality and events

The company describes its experience as spanning most areas of hospitality, with both back-of-house and front-of-house staff. The specific categories it lists are:

• Outdoor events
• Housekeeping
• Festival bars
• Waiting teams
• Kitchen brigades

Its stated client base includes hotels, venues and festival organisers, and it says these return year after year to fill gaps in their staffing. It also cites fine dining restaurants, street food festivals, charity balls and football matches as examples of the operations it can staff, and claims it can provide teams of any size.

Cleaning, warehousing and industrial placements

Beyond events, Mint People lists commercial office cleaning, deep cleaning services and warehousing among its areas of work, including warehouse floor managers. These sit alongside the hospitality lines as part of a broader staffing offer rather than as a separate business.

Recruitment, vetting and certifications

The agency says every applicant is vetted before placement and that it provides recruitment and training alongside responsive support. As of June 2025 it states it is certified to ISO 9001 (quality), ISO 14001 (environmental) and ISO 45001 (health and safety). It also reports investment in technology to streamline administration for clients and team members, while maintaining direct human contact.

Working for the agency

Mint People presents itself as a growing employer recruiting continuously. The conditions it advertises to candidates include a flexible approach to work, wages it describes as much higher than those of competitors, industry-recognised training and a sociable working environment, with an emphasis on work-life balance. Current vacancies are published on its site.

Reputation and positioning

The company describes itself as renowned in the hospitality and events sector for the quality of its people and as the North's most reliable and trusted temporary hospitality and events partner. These are the agency's own characterisations rather than independently verified claims. It reports that clients describe the Mint team as an extension of their own staff.
