Central London venue 15Hatfields has announced that November has been its best trading month to date.
15Hatfields has seen a 9.83% revenue increase on its previous best month, which was recorded in November 2019. Year on year, its November revenue has seen an increase of 20.6%.
Last year, the venue significantly expanded its offering, opening new event spaces on a second floor. The space for up to 300 guests with additional break-out areas for catering, meetings and networking, has increased the venue’s overall capacity to 530.
To date, the space has been hired for a range of events including exhibitions, awards ceremonies and wine tastings.
Event buyers have also been requesting to increase the amount of face-to-face networking time available to delegates, resulting in a surge in demand for drinks receptions accompanied by street food and canapés post-event or enhanced breakfast options.
Warren Campbell, general manager of 15Hatfields, said: “November is always a busy month for both the venue and the business meetings and events industry, but we are thrilled to have achieved our best-ever trading month. This remarkable result even surpasses our pre-pandemic achievements, which previously saw us opening many weekends to host training events. It just demonstrates the confidence in the marketplace to host business meetings and events and the growing importance being placed on face-to-face interactivity as humans thrive when they have the chance to connect and collaborate.”
He added: “Our calendar for next year already features a substantial number of business meetings and events for a complete range of industries – many of which are long-term clients. They truly value our flexible and transparent approach alongside our sustainability credentials and guidance.”
