No two days are the same and our client base and growth pattern means it can be intense at times. This is when the agility of the Sleek team really comes into its own. We know that the instant you move out of your comfort zone, it means you are growing and that’s a genuine opportunity to thrive. We work hard to ensure we are supporting one another to keep pushing boundaries.

As individuals, we are self-motivated, have very high standards, and are always willing to learn, regardless of seniority. We know how vital it is for team members to know their value to the business and feel rewarded for their contribution. What you put in, we will always give back.

We spend a large proportion of our lives at work and it should be a place that makes you feel good. Sleek is based in a modern office a short walk from Wimbledon where we share everything from playlists to weekend baking efforts. We genuinely have a lot of fun together.

We regularly socialise after work including our Thursday early finish office drinks. In addition, Jen absolutely loves arranging social events for the team including; weekend mini breaks, team away days, Christmas wreath making and more.

You’ll find Sleek to be a welcoming place for everyone, from those just starting out in their careers to parents who want to progress whilst maintaining a work/life balance. We will always support you as an individual within an environment where you can realise your true potential.

As a core member of the Live team, our Producers work cross-functionally with technical production, creative, and other stakeholders to plan and execute next level events that we know our clients will love, on time and on budget.
