What we’re like . . .

Relators

Simply put, we are people who work with people and as individuals they matter to us. Strong,positive, relationships with colleagues, partners, clients and suppliers is what makes Stagetex different from your average business.

Within our relationships, we want to be able to encourage and challenge each other, to help each other grow personally and professionally. We want to celebrate each other’s successes and support each other through the hard stuff that life throws at us. We want to have fun together – laughter is medicine for the soul. We want to create an environment where people feel supported, where they can have truly great friendships at work. We want to build on a foundation of trust.

For existing and new employees to come, we want to create a culture of trust, where each person understands that we genuinely care about them both personally and professionally. We want to be a company that excels in communication. Being open, honest and transparent can be a tough thing to do, but saying what we believe and doing what we say is key to building the culture of trust that we’re aiming for. And it applies to everyone – from the director, to the PA, to the most highly qualified techi, to the cleaner…we’re all in this together.

Advancement (Growth)

We believe that work is a place where character is developed, relationships flourish and new skills are learnt. Through an environment of mentoring, exploring and learning, our aim is to help unlock the full potential of every event we create, and every person we work with.

Constant improvement and constant change is a vital component of our organisation. By learning how to do things better we will be more efficient and will have a greater influence within the industry. As a result of this growth, we are able to grow in generosity with our resources, knowledge and finances. We are passionate about investing back into the communities we work in.

We grow because we face new challenges, try new things, and learn from our experiences. Growth requires effort but it’s one of the most fun and rewarding things to be part of. The cycle of growth and learning is something that will never finish. Just as we think we are getting really good at something, there will be advances in technology, the industry and client requests that will prompt us to keep pushing forwards.

The next problem is just an opportunity to grow again!

Creative

Just because someone does something a certain way doesn’t make it the right thing to do. Just because we have been doing it for years doesn’t mean we’re doing it in the best possible way. We are always looking for different perspectives and new, and exciting ways of doing things. It’s not a case of thinking outside the box, it’s a case of making sure we never get stuck in a box. We want to have fun! The office will be a hive of creativity, bursting with ideas and ‘the sky’s the limit’ mentality. We want to lose the structure and rigidity of the typical corporate environment and create somewhere that energizes and inspires both the team and visiting clients.

Sometimes being creative means that we break all the rules and come up with very unconventional ideas. But that’s what makes us different. That’s what differentiates us. That’s how we stay ahead of the competition.

Remarkable

We know there are other companies in the sector in which we work. But we want to stand out from the crowd. If we’re going to be remarkable at doing the big things, we need to develop a habit of being remarkable in the smallest details. No job is too small and every process counts in delivering the bigger picture.

We want to create a culture where being remarkable is expected. From how we treat our largest client, to the delivery man, to a supplier and new customers. We want to serve people consistently well. Being remarkable is not relative, it’s not about being the best – it’s about doing things in the best possible way. This might sound ambitious and it is, but this is where we believe we’ll stand out from our competitors.
