Nestled beneath Glasgow’s iconic Victorian railway arches, Camm & Hooper unveils plans to showcase the legendary Platform and set the standard for unique events in the city.

Premier events management company, Camm & Hooper, has unveiled plans to redefine the event experience for one of Scotland’s most creative venues, Platform, through its official launch taking place next month.

In an ambitious nod to Scotland’s rich tapestry of culture and innovation, Camm & Hooper is inviting the who’s who of the event industry to explore its expansive multi-room setup through an experiential event showcase titled ‘People Make Platform’ on April 18th, from 6:30pm to 11pm.

Nestled in the heart of Glasgow city centre, under the iconic Hielanman’s umbrella, the legendary multi-faceted space is setting the standard for unique events in the city. By unlocking the full potential of Platform, they promise a night of ‘wow’ experiences for guests.

The immersive launch event will encapsulate the essence of Glasgow’s vibrant community and celebrate local suppliers and friends of Platform. Featuring urban art installations by contemporary artist Ross Muir Art — famed for his unique use of Adidas tracksuits and paintings inspired by art history — alongside up-and-coming Glasgow-based sculptor, Council Baby.

Event professionals attending will have the opportunity to witness Platform’s adaptability firsthand, with live music performances throughout the evening. Renowned party curators We Should Hang Out More, poptastic indie disco DJs Pretty Ugly Club, and local band The Lines will be lighting up Platform, all complemented with a mouthwatering selection of street food and signature drinks.  

The official launch of Platform comes just two months following the success of its latest London-based venue, 26 Leake Street. Having grown by triple digits in 2023 alone, the company is focused on acquiring additional venues in Scotland, Manchester, and Leeds throughout 2024.

Allow us to introduce you to Natalie…

How did you commence your career in Finance?

I spent my teenage years earning pocket money in my dad’s auction business, where I learned the art of trading. When I wasn’t working on the bidding room floor, I was studying Biomedical Science, which culminated in a Master’s degree in Genetics. I loved the science world; however, scientific research requires a great deal of patience, which I must admit is not my greatest virtue.

I then decided to follow my dad’s footsteps and trained as a chartered accountant in a top accountancy firm, before moving into commerce.

Prior to joining Camm & Hooper, I held several exciting industry positions – from my first finance role with FTSE listed business, Compass Group, through to my first commercial Finance Director role at contract caterer, CH&CO, where I worked closely with Nick Thomas, an exceptional Group CFO on an exciting acquisition strategy. It was here that I first met Derick Martin – now the CEO of Camm & Hooper – whose enthusiasm is just electric and always makes me believe that the almost impossible is possible.

Who inspired you to take the leap into leadership?

I take my main inspiration from two people in my life – my dad and my grandmother – who both taught me invaluable lessons.

My Dad was an accountant turned entrepreneur, who co-founded an auction business which, like many small businesses, has hit many highs and lows over the past 25 years and has had to keep adapting with the times to survive. He has taught me perseverance, ownership, a sense of responsibility for your team and how to keep smiling through adversity. I am so proud of my dad and so grateful that I grew up seeing the realities of what an SME entrepreneur goes through. This set off my entrepreneurial streak from an early age.

My Grandma secured a place at university in the 1940s when 1% or less of students were women. Not only that but she showed up pregnant and unmarried in her first year, which was quite scandalous for the time. She was a formidable woman, a single mother of three by 40 she had a tough life, but she had a brilliant energy about her and her naughty streak was incredibly loveable. She had a thirst for knowledge and devoured books like no one I have ever known. She was always a supporter of the underdog and could often be seen speaking up for those who could not speak for themselves. She taught me to not care too much about what other people thought, to be unapologetically myself and to be propelled forward by people who doubt your worth.

Finally, it also goes without saying that Derick has also been a true source of inspiration – He is excellent at surrounding himself with complimentary people to him. Where he has charm, vision, and intuition I compliment him with grounding, fact, and sadly distinctly less charm but more abrasive assertiveness. I have often wondered how I can ever be a bit more Derick. But someone very important to me always reminds me to be myself, everyone else is taken. I will deal with situations in a different way to Derick but that is not necessarily a bad thing. I continue to work on my adaptability whilst still keeping true to myself.

What do you love most about working in Hospitality?

Hospitality is an industry that never sits still, and I am absolutely biased but I believe it also has some of the most wonderful, dedicated people working in it. 

It is no secret that it has been a tough few years for the industry, but where there is struggle there is opportunity and there will be winners. There are a plethora of acquisition opportunities out there for those in the position to seize them. Demand for events is strong as the working from home movement has meant employers look to bring their people together in enjoyable settings.

Overall, I love the challenge, pace and constant change provided by the events industry and couldn’t imagine working in any other sector.

What is your longer term vision for success?

I joined Camm & Hooper in 2021 to help drive and oversee the post-pandemic ‘build back better’ strategy for the business. I wanted to be part of a recovery story which I could be proud of, which would hopefully make my daughter proud one day. Over the last two years, we have completed three acquisitions, doubling the portfolio we inherited and achieving over 250% growth in normalised annual revenue, and it feels like we are only just getting started.

As part of this strategy, we acquired the iconic OXO2 in 2022, followed by 26 Leake Street and Platform in Glasgow in 2023. These spaces have added a new dimension to our venue portfolio and allow us to  accommodate a diverse variety of event styles from new car launches to corporate receptions and catwalks. All of these spaces are unique and I am very proud of all of them!

Derick and I have now lined up a number of further venue and business acquisitions within the next twelve months, and we are actively fundraising to turn these opportunities into reality. We share the fundamental belief that Camm & Hooper has the brand, the team, and the opportunity to take centre stage as an extraordinary curator of events. This belief drives and motivates me daily in achieving our long-term vision for success.

What do you enjoy doing when not at work?

Finding the work life balance is a constant challenge for me. I am a workaholic by nature, which can be both a curse and a blessing.

In a job with so many priorities how do you switch off? My close friend, an aspiring life guru, tells me to “bookend” things. Don’t see a constant stream of things I have not yet accomplished, pop a bookend after each achievement and allow myself to celebrate it a little.

This is so important because it is easy to forget how much you have accomplished when you are always looking forward. I now make a point of remembering key moments so I can have something to look back against.

That all said, I do thoroughly enjoy spending time with my three-year old daughter, Coco, who regularly reminds me who the boss really is! I am looking forward to when she is old enough to join me in my favourite hobbies, tennis, street dance and krav maga.

What advice would you give to aspiring female leaders this International Women’s Day?

Be clear on your goals and get a mentor! I am fortunate enough to have worked for and to have been mentored by a wonderful Audit Partner at RSM, Karen Tasker. I was looking at FD roles thinking I tick most of the boxes, but the jump in salary compared to what I was on made me think there was no way I was worthy of the role. Karen put me right and I didn’t look back.

Imposter syndrome is not something I suffer so much now. Derick has been fundamental in that, he reminds me that it’s ok not to be an expert in everything or to have gaps in skillsets, those gaps can be filled by the people we surround ourselves with. Mentorship has been key to my success, and I genuinely believe that if more women had access to supportive and inspiring mentors, they would have the self-belief, guidance, and confidence to achieve so much more.

As we enter a new year, wedding trends are ever-evolving, bringing fresh ideas and inspiration for couples planning their special day. In 2024, a blend of intimate moments, bold aesthetics, and personalised touches redefine the essence of modern romance. Discover the top trends at Camm & Hooper venues, where couples’ requests fuel our offerings.

Intimate Ceremonies -The Beauty of Downsizing

Centre stage in 2024 are intimate ceremonies that emphasise quality over quantity. Couples are opting for smaller, more meaningful gatherings, allowing them to exchange vows in the presence of their closest loved ones. This shift towards intimacy fosters an atmosphere of deep connection and authenticity.

Bold & Unique Colour Palettes

Bidding farewell to traditional colour schemes, couples are now exploring bold and unique palettes to infuse vibrancy into their celebrations. Expect a departure from conventional whites and pastels, as couples embrace rich and daring hues that reflect their individuality and style.

Statement Floral Arrangements/Installations

In 2024, floral design takes on a bold and artistic turn. Couples are opting for statement floral arrangements and installations that serve as breathtaking focal points. From suspended floral installations to oversized bouquets, florals become a form of art that elevates the entire celebration’s aesthetic.

Bespoke Catering and Signature Cocktails

Customisation takes centre stage in catering, with couples selecting bespoke menus that reflect their culinary preferences. To add a personal touch, signature cocktails offer guests a unique and memorable drinking experience tailored to the couple’s taste.

Personalised Favours & Floor Plans

Every detail matters, and couples are incorporating personal touches into every aspect of their wedding. From personalised favours to thoughtfully designed floor plans, these details showcase the couple’s story and create a cohesive and meaningful experience for guests.

Experimental Wedding Photography

In 2024, wedding photography undergoes an experimental makeover. Couples now seek unique and unconventional shots that capture the raw and emotional moments of their special day.

Sustainable Celebrations

The momentum continues for eco-conscious weddings in 2024. The focus remains on reducing the environmental impact while creating a celebration with a purpose.

Unforgettable Highlights

In 2024, couples are placing a premium on crafting unique, unforgettable moments. Whether it’s through stunning floral displays, surprise choreographed dances, captivating artistic installations, or innovative food presentations, the goal is to make a lasting impact. The key lies in striking the perfect balance, where impactful highlights seamlessly merge into an atmosphere of elegance and unity, ensuring that each moment contributes to their distinctive vision.

The wedding trends of 2024 are a reflection of a desire for authenticity, personalisation, and artistic expression. Couples are rewriting traditions, embracing the beauty of intimacy, and infusing their celebrations with distinctive elements that leave a lasting impression. As we embark on another year of love and commitment, these trends are poised to shape the narrative of modern romance, creating weddings that are as unique as the couples themselves.

Explore our Wedding Venues

As we bid farewell to 2023, Camm & Hooper had much to celebrate, concluding the year with the launch of our cutting-edge venue, 26 Leake Street. On the 18th of January, over 600 event professionals were invited to experience the magic of this unique space, an event that showcased not only the venue’s potential but also Camm & Hooper’s commitment to innovation and individuality in the events industry.

The event’s theme, “Express Your True Colours,” was brought to life by our creative team and lighting and audio-visual experts, Blue Elephant. The venue’s blank canvas nature was transformed into a kaleidoscope of vibrant colours, inspiring guests to express their individuality.

The launch was brimming with entertainment, which included live demonstrations by Leake Street’s resident graffiti artists, Shauna, Stockie and Lours, who set the tone for the evening through their captivating art. The Elementals, a reputable London dance group, wowed guests with a spellbinding performance, welcoming them to a night of creativity and self-expression.

The entertainment highlights of the night included various acts from Blank Canvas Entertainment, including roaming magicians, living statue performers, and busker shows. Each performance was diverse and engaging, ensuring that guests had a fun-filled night of entertainment.

The food was a visual and sensory delight. The bespoke Italian food station, where our talented chefs prepared truffle tagliatelle and orzo, stood out with its open-kitchen design, allowing guests to watch their meals being prepared. The Shawarma Bar, designed by Leake Street graffiti artists, was a unique experience that allowed guests to personalise their chicken, lamb, or jackfruit shawarmas. Our Culinary Chefs showcased their culinary abilities with canapés and bowl food, providing a sneak peek into the 2024 Spring Summer menus.

For dessert, guests were treated to a nostalgic Sweet Shop, offering childhood favourites like pina colada dib dabs and rhubarb & custard tea fools. A cocktail-inspired candy floss machine added an extra sparkle of fun to the party.

Signature cocktails crafted by Liquid Chef James Allen put a smile on the faces of guests. The three speciality Cocktail Stations – The Tuck Shop, The Smokehouse, and The Infusion Bar – all offered a unique flavour sensation.

A huge thanks goes out to all our guests, clients, investors and suppliers who made the event truly memorable. The launch of 26 Leake Street was a testament to Camm & Hooper’s dedication to creating extraordinary events.  To explore our venues or get in touch with the team, click here.

In the heart of London, where creativity meets raw urban charm, 26 Leake Street emerged as a vibrant canvas throughout October. This remarkable venue, our latest gem, transcended into a haven for extraordinary experiences.

A Night of Change Under the Arches: Reigate Grammar’s Butterfly Effect

On October 10th, Reigate Grammar alumni gathered under the arches to inspire change through their ‘changing lives, building futures’ campaign. The evening revolved around the butterfly effect concept, envisioning the positive impact of even the smallest actions. The venue transformed into a butterfly haven, with delicate winged creatures adorning tables and arches. Jazz melodies filled the air, courtesy of alumna Karolina Csathy and keyboardist Zac.

“I just wanted to thank you and the team for all your hard work to ensure that the event was a roaring success. The positive feedback we have received from attendees was exactly the impact that we were trying to create, so we are very happy with the outcome. You have acquired a great venue with lots of potential”- Jonny Hylton, Foundation Director, Reigate Grammar.

Global Action Plan: Illuminating Luxury for All

On October 19th, we had the privilege of hosting an extraordinary event for Global Action Plan, an environmental charity deeply committed to reshaping our world for a sustainable future. The event posed a profound question: ‘What would luxury that’s fair to people and the planet look like?’ Influencers spanning various sectors came together to explore this vision, delving deep into conversations about reshaping societal norms.

At 26 Leake Street, we meticulously transformed the venue into a multi-space immersive experience. Each of the three key areas served unique purposes, guiding our guests through an enlightening journey. Arch one and two were adorned with headsets that intricately detailed the narrative of a changed future. These designs, thoughtfully created and produced by talented students from Middlesex University, added a touch of creative virtuosity to the event. As our guests immersed themselves in this visionary narrative, they were then led to the working bar area. Here, amidst the ambience of comradeship, our attendees indulged in delightful canapés and cocktails while listening to speeches from inspiring activists. These passionate discussions illuminated the core premise of their organisation, leaving a lasting impact on everyone present.

“I just wanted to say a big thank you for all your help yesterday with our event. I was so impressed with the level of service we received. I’d like to particularly thank Tobi and Alin who throughout the entire event were fantastic. It felt like nothing was too much of an ask for them- they went above and beyond to help, and they ensured everything ran smoothly. They were both an absolute delight to deal with- so friendly and attentive. They are true assets to Camm & Hooper” – Kristina, Programme Manager, Global Action Plan.

In the heart of the Victorian Bath House, amidst the flicker of candlelight and the whispers of history, we witnessed a love story unlike any other. Meet Matt and Amanda, a couple whose unconventional journey led them to our doors in search of a venue as unique as their love.

A year ago, Matt and Amanda escaped to a secluded island without mentioning a word to their friends and family. Yet, they longed for a celebration that echoed their tastes and celebrated their love in all its splendour. Choosing the mystical date of Friday the 13th of October, they embarked on a quest to find a venue that mirrored their extraordinary love story.

“When we came across the Victorian Bath House, we just looked at each other both knowing this was it!” shared Matt “We knew this charming setting with heaps of history and character was perfectly aligned with our vision of something edgy yet classy.”

Their wedding day became a testament to their commitment to a compassionate lifestyle. Both adherents of a vegetarian lifestyle, Matt and Amanda opted to immerse their guests in a solely meat-free experience, a choice met with initial apprehension from some attendees. “The chefs embraced our ideas and food choices with enthusiasm,” Amanda recalled. “Their dedication shone through in each dish, elevating our dining experience to unprecedented heights.”

The air was infused with the scent of exquisite vegetarian and vegan creations, meticulously crafted by our chefs. “Every dish was a masterpiece,” reminisced Matt. ” Our guests were highly complementary of the food, we may have even inadvertently converted a couple to become meat-free.”

Yet, beyond the culinary delights, what truly distinguished their day was the unwavering commitment of our Camm & Hooper team. “Our journey, from the planning stages to post-event, was flawless,” Matt emphasized. “Every team member we encountered proved to be an invaluable asset. Thank you for helping us achieve an unforgettable experience that everyone will remember.”

Amidst the historic walls, sipping their favourite cocktails, the classic espresso martini, Matt and Amanda celebrated more than just their love; they celebrated a love story that authentically mirrored their essence as a couple.

Their story reminds us that love can be as mindful as it is magical, that every dish served and every smile exchanged at the Victorian Bath House is a celebration of compassion and love, beautifully plated and genuinely felt.

The Victorian Bath House is a hidden gem nestled in the heart of London’s bustling City. Its majestic architecture has stood the test of time, as it has undergone numerous transformations over the centuries. From its humble beginnings as Turkish Baths to a period as a pizzeria, bar, and nightclub, this Grade II listed wonder boasts a captivating history as diverse as the city it calls home.

During the late 1800s, London experienced rapid population growth, creating a demand for more significant hygiene facilities. To address this need, the Baths and Washhouses Act of 1846 encouraged the construction of public baths and washhouses. However, the city’s elite demanded more upscale options, leading to the rise of Turkish bathhouses. By the time the Victorian Bath House opened in 1895, over 100 such establishments were thriving in the city.

The Victorian Bath House was initially designed as an opulent underground haven for relaxation and cleanliness, catering to the city’s wealthy and elite. Its striking design was the brainchild of Architect G. Harold Elphick and financed by Victorian entrepreneur James Forde Neville and his brother Henry. Positioned adjacent to Liverpool Street Station, the Stock Exchange, and Lloyds, the establishment impressed both contemporary journals and guests who praised its remarkable décor and efficient use of space.

Despite its lengthy and storied history, the Victorian Bath House has emerged from various trials and tribulations as a resilient and iconic structure. It endured two World Wars, IRA attacks, and redevelopment projects, solidifying its place in the city’s collective memory.

In 2015, Camm and Hooper undertook an ambitious restoration and refurbishment of the Victorian Bath House in collaboration with the renowned designer Russell Sage. This mission aimed to breathe new life into the historic site while maintaining its original allure. The designers’ meticulous restorative journey saw them use authentic materials, including Dunhill Tiles, to rejuvenate the venue’s opulent ambiance. They also incorporated contemporary touches such as Champagne bells, a Decanter wall, and a Champagne bath, lending modern flair to this sophisticated venue.

Today, the Victorian Bath House comprises the Lounge, the Snug & bar, and the courtyard, boasting flexibility that permits it to host a vast range of events. Built to accommodate up to 150 standing guests or 90 seated, this venue is an elegant choice for intimate parties, intimate drinks receptions, and bespoke banquets. With an opulent Victorian aesthetic, this unique space oozes personality, and is an exceptional choice for hosting wedding feasts, Christmas parties, summer parties and executive meetings.

The Victorian Bath House’s rich history sets it apart as a unique and alluring event space. It transcends its former guise as a Turkish Bath, now offering an exclusive venue for guests seeking to savour its rich and storied history. Located in proximity to Liverpool Street Station, this historic masterpiece is an exclusive even space. Camm and Hooper’s dedication to preserving history while incorporating a contemporary touch has breathed new life into the Victorian Bath House, firmly establishing it as an essential destination in the City of London. Its journey from a historical Turkish Bath to a thriving modern event space is a testament to its remarkable adaptability, mirroring the dynamic spirit of the city itself.  The Victorian Bath House now stands as a must-see destination and an exceptional example of London’s rich heritage, poised to capture the imagination of all who discover it.
