Mary Kraft Staffing opens event planning division

Mary Kraft Staffing and HR Solutions, headquartered in Lutherville, opened a new division, Event Planning Solutions, to provide a wide range of event-planning services for conventions, trade shows, company parties, holiday parties, fundraisers and other corporate and social events.

“We found that many of our clients were entrusting their special events to administrative assistants and human resource staff, who had many other obligations and full-time jobs in the company,” said Lisa Benson, staffing director for Mary Kraft Staffing.

“When they asked us about providing staffing for an event, they often wanted to know how else we could help them. To fill this niche, we hired a full event-planning team and launched our new division Event Planning Solutions.”

Since establishing Event Planning Solutions, Mary Kraft Staffing now provides full-service event coordination from conception to execution, working within a variety of budgets.

Mary Kraft Staffing, which employs 200 professionals, is a woman-owned and operated business founded in 1989. The company provides staffing and project management services as well as outsourced payroll, health insurance, benefits and risk management services.

Mary Kraft Staffing and HR Solutions partners with health care, financial, commercial and service industry organizations to increase productivity and reduce costs through staffing services and outsourced human resources. Headquartered in Lutherville, Md., Mary Kraft Staffing is certified in Maryland as a Minority Business Enterprise and Women’s Business Enterprise and in Baltimore as a Women’s Business Enterprise.
