Sitting here writing this letter, I’m not even sure where to begin. Never did I imagine that (a) we would be celebrating our 9th year in business, nor did I (b) envision that we would be faced with one of the most difficult issues ever to affect a business, a pandemic accompanied by a pretty much complete shutdown in every country we provide service. I remember back in March 2020, saying that I couldn’t imagine this would continue for another year and yet here we are, almost a year later. Rather than focus on the challenges and negative aspects of this past year, I have continued to maintain a positive outlook despite the event and hospitality industries experiencing significant hardships. Each day we continue to think of our staff, clients and extended friends and family, and know that we are all in this together.

At the end of the day though, my mission has to always push forward regardless of whatever difficulties we may face. Maintaining pride, perseverance and determination have been guiding principles in our day to day work, and our work over the years, and this year is no different. Despite work slowing down, we were prepared to weather a storm and have been able to continue staffing smaller activations, motorsports commercials, demo rides and outdoors events where COVID-19 protocols were strictly enforced. It’s presented a significant learning curve but we’ve adapted!

2020 was a great year in many ways. It has allowed us to reflect, grow, change and above all, be appreciative and grateful for what we do have. We are thankful to have received several Stevie awards in both the International Business Awards and Women in Business Awards, plus a People’s Choice Award, in recognition of the work we’ve done within an incredibly niche market. We also received certification as a Women Business Enterprise by WBE Canada, allowing us the opportunity to connect with a strong diverse supplier network in Canada and the US. In addition, our involvement with Forbes Business Council has given us the opportunity to connect with a number of other like-minded business professionals, especially in the HR & Staffing fields.

In reflecting back over the past 9 years, we started a business, built it from the ground up, and to this day remain the only event staffing agency in North American to specialize in motorsports, automotive and outdoors staffing. It was and has been quite a feat! With it, we’ve met many wonderful staff and clients and have had a blast promoting the industries that we love and working at events we enjoy. We wouldn’t change it for the world, and look forward to the upcoming year where we will hit what once seemed like an incredibly distant goal, our 10 year anniversary.

Thank you to to my team, staff, clients, family and friends for your continued support! We hope you all keep safe, healthy and positive and we look forward to working with you in some capacity in the coming year.

With gratitude,

Jessica Kline

Founder & CEO
