During the winter, it also provides its services for the Sunway Travel agency for their Lapland season. ‘What a client requests is what they get’, Premier told us, and it ensures it can do this with frequent training, up skilling days, and staff meetings. Its mission is first and foremost to offer the most professional entertainment options available. Therefore, it’s presentation as a company is something it takes great pride in; from its website to its social media pages and the professionalism of all of its staff. It also invests significant effort into ensuring the landing pages are polished and effective, using Facebook to upload free photos of the events it runs so that the attendees can enjoy those memories. Subsequently Selena offers workshops in which people can learn to face paint, a service that has become highly popular, and taking place about 5 times annually. Of course, with the outbreak of Covid-19, the entertainment industry has suffered massive hits to revenue streams across the board. Premier was no different – with no events running and having to work on upgrading and updating safety practices for when they can reopen, it has also turned to writing. Over the course of the past year, Premier’s founder worked with her own daughter to create a series of fiction face paint focused books that have already had interest from 2 well known agents in New York. It has also been working on an online shop, opening sometime this year. Premier considers being able to work within Ireland an absolute pleasure, happy to be able to work within such a supportive and enthusiastic market seeking to provide fun for end users. In serving these sorts of customers, the positivity is also reflected internally within the company, and Premier’s 2 main teams of entertainers in Cork and Dublin are all highly equipped and charismatic personalities. The founder encourages creativity, diversity, and innovation amongst the team, ensuring that everyone’s ideas feel heard, and each staff member takes great pride in their own presentation. Currently, it is in the middle of the recruitment and training of 3 new artists and a new manager in Dublin, plus working to make its processes as hygienic as possible. It is excited for restrictions to be lifted once it is again safe, looking forward to bringing both its books and its ever-brilliant entertainment services back to the public.
