Case Study: Sharky & George achieves streamlined on-site spending and empowered teams with Pleo

Sharky & George - Customer Case Study

Sharky & George is an immersive events company creating high-energy children’s and adult experiences, and they were hamstrung by an archaic expenses system where only directors had cards, staff often had to pay suppliers out of pocket (one supplier once demanded around £500), and finance work involved digging through bank statements. They discovered Pleo and its company cards and app as a potential replacement to streamline on-site and remote spending.

Pleo issued individual cards and the Pleo app, giving teams autonomy to pay suppliers on the spot, capture receipts, and spend confidently abroad (an event team used cards in Tuscany), which cut back on out-of-pocket payments, reduced admin and queries to HQ, and improved cash flow for temporary staff and actors. By moving to Pleo, Sharky & George gained faster, more transparent expense control that supports their growing international event schedule.
