16 years of Wave Staffing, a look back at Oxfordshire’s most iconic events
For over sixteen years, Wave Staffing has proudly provided exceptional teams for some of the most memorable events across Oxfordshire and beyond.
From high-profile film launches to luxury brand openings and national festivals, our journey has been defined by passion, professionalism, and the pursuit of excellence in every service we deliver.
Our first red carpet event: Ashes Film Launch
Every great story starts with a defining moment. For Wave Staffing, that spark came with our very first event — the film launch of Ashes a Ray Winstone film. It was a baptism of fire that set the tone for the calibre of occasions we would come to support: refined, high-energy, and executed with precision.
Landmark moments in Oxford
When Oxford’s Westgate shopping centre opened its doors, Wave Staffing was there to help make the launch truly spectacular. From managing guest flow to assisting luxury retailers on-site, our team helped introduce a new era of shopping for the city.
We’ve also been a key partner at Venturefest Oxford, supporting innovators, investors, and entrepreneurs as they showcase the region’s bright ideas — an event close to our heart as an Oxfordshire-grown business.
Bringing the spirit of celebration to the nation
Our teams have travelled far beyond Oxfordshire, servicing high-energy activations such as the Carlsberg Christmas Tour, delivering festive cheer across the country. We were also proud to support Women of Silicon Roundabout in London — a dynamic celebration of diversity and innovation in tech.
Grounds of grandeur: Blenheim Palace and beyond
Few venues are as iconic as Blenheim Palace, and we’re honoured to have become part of its event legacy.
From Countryfile Live to the Bentley Owners Club World Record, and the elegance of Salon Privé, our staff have helped deliver unforgettable experiences at every scale.
Closer to home, our teams have supported VIP services at The Big Feastival, ensuring seamless hospitality for musicians, chefs, and VIP guests alike.
Sports, style, and sophistication
From the excitement of the Virgin Sport Oxford Half Marathon to the refinement of Loewe’s retail opening at Bicester Village, Wave Staffing has mastered versatility — adapting our service to every environment and client need.
We’ve also supported the internationally renowned Soho Farmhouse in its early opening period, delivering hospitality excellence that complements one of the UK’s most exclusive destinations.
Most recently, our team returned to Westgate for another milestone — the Sephora retail opening, bringing global beauty flair to Oxford city centre.
Looking ahead to 2026
From red carpets to country estates, luxury boutiques to large-scale public events, Wave Staffing’s story is one of collaboration, commitment, and care. As we step into our seventeenth year, we look forward to continuing to elevate events across Oxfordshire, the Cotswolds, and beyond — one perfectly staffed experience at a time.
