Company and Brand Statement:

At State of Play Hospitality, we believe in the power of hospitality to bring people together and create unforgettable moments. We’re seeking friendly and outgoing individuals to join our team. If you have a passion for providing exceptional service, a welcoming demeanour, and the ability to create a positive first impression for our guests, we want to hear from you!

Bounce has been delivering unforgettable nights out for groups since 2012 and with it, arguably, State of Play created an entirely new entertainment category. Ping pong remains hugely popular and accessible for all ages and it is best experienced with friends or colleagues hosted by one of Bounce’s Games Gurus.
