We specialise in delivering exceptional

events, anywhere. Banks, warehouses,

townhouses, libraries: we reimagine and

transform London’s most iconic venues.

In 2013 our founder, Claire Lawson set about

to disrupt the sleepy market of events with

its white linen, poor production, bland and

uninspiring drone-like service. She envisioned

an events company where extraordinary people

curated memorable events in iconic venues.

The inspiration for the name Camm & Hooper

came from Sydney Camm & Ralph Hooper,

inventors of the vertical take-off jet engine.

It was their ability to invent new formats,

functionality and technology to be able to

perform in all situations that inspired our

events, restaurant and bar concept.

Shifting paradigms, innovative thinking and

an entrepreneurial spirit is at the heart of the

Camm & Hooper team. We’ve revolutionised

event spaces inside some of London’s most

iconic buildings to host unforgettable events

that rethink the experience.

THE CAMM & HOOPER WAY

You’ll find us inside some of the most amazing

and unusual event spaces in London – from banks

to warehouses, conservatories to libraries, our

concept and development work is award-winning.

We offer world-class hosting and event

management services, creating unforgettable

celebrations for you and your guests. Our food

and drink offering is expertly tailored to suit any

event. As testament to our pioneering flair, our

own CBE (Chief Booze Engineer), infuses spirits

to our clients’ delight. These are delightfully

displayed in the 800+ cut glass crystal decanters

hand selected by Lady Lovejoy (Claire’s Mum).

These expertly crafted spirits, be it our venison

and truffle oil gin or our homemade buttered rum,

are but one of our Camm & Hooper signatures.

There’s not a detail missed when you host your

event with Camm & Hooper.


OUR LEADERSHIP TEAM

Our devoted leadership

team bring a wealth of

knowledge and experience

from some of the most

formidable businesses

in the industry.

Claire is one of our inspiring

co-founders, setting up Camm

& Hooper in October 2013 following

a stellar award-winning career in

hotel management.

Claire started her career at Marriott

UK, looking after a portfolio of

74 hotels, before she left to join

The Brewery in London as General

Manager. In her seven years in

charge, Claire doubled the revenue

to £12m per year, before leading

the sale of the business (twice!).

She went on to become Commercial

Director of the Grove Resort in

Hertfordshire and then a business

consultant for high-profile events.

Claire’s mission is to continue to

evolve the events industry model,

by using innovation, creativity and

a passion for perfection.

Debra’s a true entrepreneur,

having started, led and sold several

businesses across three continents.

In 2007, Debra and her team founded

Mitie Client Services which became

the industry leader in front-of-house

services – turning over £22m in only

five years. The company was named

one of the Best 100 Small Companies

to Work For by The Sunday Times,

and received their coveted Special

Training award.

Debra’s international career is

dedicated to service excellence,

and she has a proven track record

for building and operating successful

businesses. In 2015, she was named

Women of Achievement winner

by Women in the City, and one

of the top 10 people in facilities

management by RICS. She joined

Camm & Hooper in 2018.

“You’ll find yourself scooping up with your fork to make sure nothing has gone to waste”Harpers Bazaar WE EXPLORE GLOBAL,

BUT CREATE LOCAL

When it comes to delivering innovative, creative and exceptional food

for events, Ronnie Murray and his team reign supreme. Our chefs deliver

first-class food that fuses fun with formal.

Ronnie joins us after a career spent working

in many of London’s top restaurants, including

J Sheekey, The Ivy and Scott’s of Mayfair, where

he was on the launch team. Ronnie previously

spent seven years as Executive Group Chef for

Hix Restaurants, looking after everything from

daily changing restaurant menus to intimate

dinners and festival catering.

Ronnie’s focus is on using the best seasonal

ingredients and building delicious dishes around

those. ‘I like to make the ingredients the star,’ he

says. ‘I love to showcase fantastic meat, fish and

vegetables. We’ve got so much fantastic produce

in Britain, let’s look on our doorstep before we

go further.’

Ronnie’s developed some very special menus for

our venues – but if you need something bespoke,

he’s on hand to create a unique offering suitable

for your event.

No compromises are made when it comes to the

quality of our food, and we make sure that every

guest is presented with a delicious feast to enjoy.


“The Greatest G&T’s in London”Tatler

CHOOSE TO INFUSE

Our 50-strong cocktail list is a selection of our signature cocktails,

curated by our Chief Booze Engineer Mr P. J. Hobbs. His masterful way

with flavours involves infusing spirits with herbs, spices and fresh fruits

to create drinks that guests will love.

We don’t deliver the same old, same

old when it comes to drinks menus.

The Camm & Hooper way is all

about innovation and personalisation.

Never ones to follow the crowd,

our Chief Booze Engineer, Patrick

Hobbs and the team choose to

infuse. Taking a few of our favourite

spirit brands, they imbue them

with herbs, spices and fresh fruit

in the booze lab to create some

truly special drinks.

From the booze lab, our creations

have been inspired by everything

from childhood visits to the sweet

shop, to dancing in the streets at

Notting Hill Carnival.

It doesn’t always go to plan but

for every cloud, there’s a silver

lining. While toying with Johnnie

Walker Black, sugar, butter and

bitters to create toffee scotch,

we accidentally burnt the sugar.

But our meddling had actually

added a delicious depth to the

recipe, and so our Burnt Toffee

Scotch Old Fashioned was born.

Never the afterthought, our drinks

are the centrepiece of a Camm &

Hooper event.

Our clients can pick their favourite

unique concoction to create superb

cocktails, mixers or simply serve

over ice at their event.


PRODUCTION

Delivering a great event is about many elements

working seamlessly together, and Production Plus

are our fantastic technical services partner.

With nearly 40 years’ experience, this award-winning company

creates bespoke settings and backdrops as well as specialist

staging for any occasion.

a year, they were recently awarded the prestigious ‘DMT Foundation’

Supplier of the Year award.

They employ over 50 full-time staff – including technicians,

warehouse operatives, administration, finance, events sales and

planning, logistics & technical experts – which means they can

offer the full production package.

Production Plus are fantastic at delivering and managing

spectacular events with style. Their mission is simple

– to exceed your expectations.


EVENT ARCHITECTS

A HIDDEN GEM IN THE CITY, JUST A STONE’S THROW FROM LIVERPOOL STREET STATION.

Sumptuous surroundings and period detailing: the Grade-II

Victorian Bath House is a hedonistic hideaway in the heart

of London, a stone’s throw from Liverpool Street Station.

This subterranean space dates from 1817, and has housed

baths under varied ownerships for almost a century. Having

withstood the bombs of two World Wars, the Victorian Bath

House has lived through many incarnations, including a

restaurant, bar and nightclub.


“The décor is sumptuous – gold, red and totally plush – with a speakeasy-meets-

opium-den vibe. A must-see venue if you are planning a raucous celebration”

Sporting sweeping views of Soho Square, each of the

décor and debaucherous Soho spirit.

Soho Square’s reputation in bygone eras was one

of notorious decadence, and 11 Soho Square seeks to

keep this heritage alive.

In the past, it has been adapted to become a hotel

by noted architect Thomas Hopper, and later became

home to iconic gay club The Edge.

YOUR BRAND, OUR SERVICE

We understand what makes an event special

– and why it needs an obsessive eye for detail.

From dedicated event planning, to catering,

bespoke drinks offerings to top-notch

production, we’ve got it covered. For Camm

& Hooper clients, it’s a seamless process.

Our five distinct venues in London offer clients

the choice, flexibility and scope to create their

ideal event, whether intimate or ambitious in

scale. We’ve worked with brands as different

and impressive as Nike, Smirnoff, Bombay

Sapphire, Instagram, Skype, and British Airways

(to name a few).

We love what we do: and that love comes across

in the standard of service we deliver to every

single one of our guests.

At Camm & Hooper, we pride ourselves on our

personal touch. We’re warm, genuine, efficient

and consistent.

The foundation of our service strategy is to

always treat our guests as if we’re welcoming

them into our homes.

How do we do this?

We have an incredible team, who go to great

lengths to make sure they do an exceptional

job, every time.

We’re constantly striving for better,

and looking for new ways to improve.

So we’re rightly proud of the smiles

we bring to our clients’ faces.


OUR PEOPLE

We’re a family at Camm & Hooper – and one dedicated to

nurturing and supporting our talented staff. We seek out the

best in the business, and offer them fantastic career development

and exciting opportunities.

We work with our People Talent Manager to

make sure we’re helping our teams harness

their expertise and shape their futures.

We believe talent goes beyond a keen eye

and a qualification on paper.

At Camm & Hooper we live and breathe events;

our dedicated team are always seeking events

excellence so you can rest assured your function

is in good hands. From enquiry to execution our

team will work with you to bring your dream

event to fruition.


HOW WE GIVE BACK

At Camm & Hooper, we’re proud to support charities

close to our heart in many different ways.

Every year we host a fundraising event for

children’s charities, The Triathlon Trust and

Starlight Children’s Foundation. Last year’s

event at Banking Hall, was hosted in conjunction

with Paralympic silver medallist Lauren

Steadman, and raised more than £12,000.

Six Storeys provides the home for charity

Give Out, a charity raising funds for LGBTQI

causes worldwide. Funding activists and their

organisations around the world to promote

and protect the rights of LGBTQI people, our

Soho venue is the location for their donor and

board meetings.

Filanthropy* organise brilliantly fun parties that

cultivate collaboration for social change. At the

events, hosted in Tanner Warehouse, three social

entrepreneurs discuss how they would spend

£1,000. The aim is to then help each project

reach that target.

We also like to get out and about, and have

taken the Camm & Hooper experience to the

NHS Whittington Hospital. We provided catering

for patients attending a conference on cancer

treatments run by Macmillan and look forward

to making this an annual tradition.

As a charity close to our hearts, Macmillan

is now one of our chosen charities that we’ll

support throughout the year. We’ll cater for

the yearly Support Conference which gives

aid to those who need it most. We’ll also

get involved in the World’s Biggest Coffee

Morning that happens every September and

continue to make dontations and help raise

money throughout the year.
