Mash and Cava join forces

Mash Staffing has agreed a deal with Cava Ltd, Scotland’s leading promotional staffing agency. Founded by Karen McPhee in 2004 Cava will be merged into the Mash Staffing business. Following a successful 10 years of business McPhee was keen to find ways of growing with her clients and felt that Mash’s ethos and business model provided her with the best opportunity to do this. For Mash, also founded in 2004, the merger provides a great opportunity to spread their presence in the north of England and Scotland and in particular for clients wishing to activate campaigns during the Commonwealth Games.

The move is in line with their re-focus on three pillar staffing sectors – promotional and experiential, corporate and hospitality, and in-store and retail sales – reflected by a newly launched website.

McPhee, who will assume the role of client service director, Mash Scotland said “I am delighted with the opportunity to join such an ambitious business. When it comes to client service and being leaders in their field, Mash offers everything I believe to be pivotal to a successful staffing agency. One that my existing clients will find a positive step forward and new clients we see as an exciting offering for Scotland in Scotland”.

Said Chris Wareham, managing director of Mash Staffing UK, “We are immensely excited by the opportunity merging with Cava brings to Mash UK. We have many clients who have expressed an interest in our focus in Scotland and the North of England and in Cava we can live up to our mission to be staffing specialists within all of our chosen sectors.”

Mash Scotland will operate out of a Glasgow office and continue to work with existing Cava clients. The London office will provide sales, marketing and operational support in order to grow the Scottish business in Promotional Staffing and into new markets across Corporate Event and In-Store sales staff.
