Good times for city centre business venue.

Birmingham-based meeting and event space thestudio has appointed a new sales and events coordinator following its most successful year to date.

Increasing on last year’s revenue for the overall business by 29% both the Cannon Street venue in Birmingham and Lever Street venue in Manchester have attributed to this success.

Managing Director Emma Jennings said: “We extended the Birmingham venue by two floors earlier in the year and as a result have been able to smash our sales targets for this financial year. It’s a credit to the hard work and determination of our staff and we look forward to building upon this success in 2014-15.
“The expansion and great sales figures have also allowed us to expand our team in Birmingham, with the addition of a Sales and Events Coordinator. We’re also close to sealing a deal on a third venue in a location that we are extremely excited to soon be confirming.”

Recent Plymouth University graduate Laura Nash has taken up the position. Laura said: “I studied event management at university and spent my sandwich year working full-time at thestudio from 2012-13. When I left the new spaces were still in the planning stages so I’m really looking forward to being able to sell them. I’ve worked in a number of different environments but thestudio team is fantastic and I really couldn’t imagine myself working for any other venue. I’m excited to help the business grow and see it expand to bigger and better things.”
