Commenting on the new membership, Lisa Hatswell, managing director, Unique Venues of London said: “After such a challenging time for the events industry, we are delighted to be welcoming such a prestigious and world-leading organisation to our collection of venues.
“Supporting our member venues has been of the upmost importance during these gruelling 16 months, providing them with the information and resources needed to navigate their way through government guidance and making sure their voices have been heard, along with maintaining a forum that they can discuss freely amongst peers has been imperative. We look forward to a brighter future and welcoming Royal College of Music to join us.”
Sam Glenister-Batey, head of events & venue hire, Royal College of Music, added: “We are thrilled to be joining Unique Venues of London following a £40m investment project which has transformed our world-famous conservatoire and created fantastic opportunities for hosting corporate and private events, photoshoots, location filming and weddings.
