Camm & Hooper assembles new leadership team following 57% growth since venues reopened

Camm & Hooper, one of the UK’s leading events and hospitality companies, has weathered the storm of the Covid-19 pandemic and emerged stronger than ever. With a new leadership team at the helm, the company is charting a course for growth and expansion in the post-pandemic world. 

The London-based events company that specialises in creating extraordinary experiences has grown by 25% since spring 2022. It has also increased its iconic venue portfolio by 35%, due to a surge in demand since the capital sprang back to life following Covid restrictions. With three new venues in the pipeline which will see its revenue triple by this time next year.

Derick Martin, CEO, and Natalie Sykes, CFO, are leading the charge as Camm & Hooper enters its next phase. The company is focused on innovation and growth, with a particular focus on expanding its portfolio in and beyond London. The addition of the iconic OXO2 venue on London’s South Bank has already proven to be a success, with the space hosting a range of events from weddings to conferences. Situated on the second floor of the historic OXO tower, this contemporary and adaptable events space with floor to ceiling windows offers stunning views across the London skyline. 

To meet growing demand, there have been a series of appointments and promotions. Camm & Hooper’s new senior leadership team assembled by Derick Martin possesses more than a century’s worth of sector experience between them. With James Robson as CCO, Ed Benson as CTO, Ben March as Operations Director, Qamile Zejnullahi as Marketing Director, Sarah Barnard as Creative Director, Dominika Kurowska as Head Of People, and Chris Hawkins as Culinary Director, their mission is to redefine the events industry. 

“The events landscape has changed significantly in the wake of Covid, and Camm & Hooper is rising to the challenge with a wealth of expertise and cutting-edge technology,” said Derick Martin, CEO of Camm & Hooper. “We’re going to continue shaking up the events industry, pushing the art of the possible at every turn. Our recovery and growth serve as a testament to the power of the extraordinary people we have in the business. We’re all excited about the next chapter.”

“The last few years have been a catalyst to making us reassess our priorities,” added Natalie Sykes, CFO of Camm & Hooper. “We believe that events should be more than just a gathering – they should be an experience that leaves a lasting impression. We are committed to delivering on this promise and supporting the ‘living life in the moment’ movement, no matter what challenges we face. We are thrilled at the progress we have made over the past year and we put this down to remaining committed to our vision of delivering extraordinary experiences for our clients.”
