Kudos increases event sales as party market returns

By James Russell: Kudos increases event sales as party market returns

May 19, 2015

Caterer Kudos has had a strong start to the financial year for events: comparing figures to last year, a 12% growth has been achieved across their venues, which include some of the UK’s top event venues including Gibson Hall (pictured above), Brighton Centre, Harrogate International Centre and Central Hall Westminster.

With their flexible approach and can do attitude, Kudos is able to offer bespoke packages to each client’s individual requirements. Whether this is event styling or creative food design, the events team are on hand to create the perfect event.

Big increase in summer and Christmas events

2015 has seen a big increase in summer and Christmas events very early on in the year. In the past the trend has been to combine the annual summer party with a conference but with times changing it’s the parties that are now over taking with companies opting for fun over formal.

Based in Bishopsgate in the heart of the city of London, Gibson Hall has had a massive increase in enquiries for summer parties, with 68% of all incoming enquiries accounting for summer events, a 31% increase compared to last year. Could this be the return of summer entertaining?

Christmas across the board is stronger and event bookings are a lot earlier this year with clients looking to secure the key dates well in advance.

Party market is going from strength to strength

Nicky Pratt, Events and Development at Kudos said,

“I truly believe that the summer and Christmas party market is going from strength to strength, it shows there is some confidence back in the economy and companies want to entertain their staff and clients more.  We have also ensured we have the right options for our clients by offering bespoke tailor made packages.”
