Our story

Built on reliability.
Driven by purpose.

A London-based staffing agency founded on the belief that reliability, presentation and opportunity should come as standard.

The founder

Meet Omar

I started Onyx because I spotted a gap. And on the other side of it — an opportunity.

I'm Omar — a 21-year-old Londoner and the founder of Onyx Staffing Group. I started Onyx because I spotted a gap. Event companies, hotels and corporate organisers across London were consistently struggling with the same thing: finding reliable, well-presented staff at short notice.

And on the other side, there were young people in London with the drive and the attitude, but no way in. I saw a business in that gap. So I built one.

Every client gets a direct line to me. Every member of staff is personally vetted and believed in. That's the Onyx standard — and it doesn't change, no matter the size of the event.

"Every member of our team is personally vetted and believed in. A lot of them are getting their first proper opportunity through Onyx. That's the whole point."

The gap we filled

London's event industry has a staffing problem. Good clients struggle to find reliable people. Talented young Londoners struggle to get a first break. Onyx sits exactly in the middle — connecting the two.

What drives us

Our Mission

For clients

To be the most reliable event staffing agency in London — the team that shows up prepared, looks the part, and makes your event run exactly as it should.

For our staff

To be the agency that opens the door. To give young, ambitious people in London their first real shot at a career in hospitality and events — with proper support behind them.

For the industry

To raise the bar on what a staffing agency looks like. Transparent, founder-led, and built on genuine accountability — not just headcounts.

What we stand for

Our Values

Reliability

We show up. On time, prepared, and ready. Reliability isn't a selling point for us — it's the baseline. Every event, every client, no exceptions.

Presentation

All-black smart attire, every time. How our staff look is a direct reflection of your event. We take that seriously so you don't have to remind us to.

Opportunity

We believe in giving people their first real chance. Many of our team are building their hospitality careers through Onyx — and we're proud of that.

Transparency

No hidden fees, no passing the buck, no surprises. You deal directly with the founder, invoices come within 24 hours, and we communicate clearly at every step.
