MEET THE TEAM 👋

Say hello to Ella, our incredible Internal Events Manager.

Describe yourself in 3 words
Excitable, hungry, gremlin.

What's your favourite part of working in events?
There’s so much that goes into carefully planning an event, and making everything feel perfect for the client. The moment when they walk into the space set exactly as they wanted, and catching their eye during and seeing a great big smile on their face and you know you’ve done your job well.

Dream event to organise?
Probably some kind of Renaissance Faire. It feels like something that would really require a lot of creativity and imagination to help people get lost in a whole different world, especially if it has magical elements.

What's your most unpopular opinion?
Sweat the small stuff. And the big stuff. Just keep sweating until everything is fine.

When you're not working, you are...
Probably finding a new hobby to obsess over and then forget about when I get bored. Most recently, it’s been candle making.

What fictional character are you most similar to?
A mix between Tina Belcher from Bob’s Burgers and Jess Day form New Girl.

Entertainment is such an important part of any event, but it doesn't always need to be obvious...

From melodies on a grand piano, to surprise singing waiters between mains and dessert, we've seen (and heard) it all!

Did you know The Deck is designed to be used year round with as little carbon impact as possible?

The building is thermally insulated to substantially reduce heat loss in the winter and the space itself is temperature controlled through underfloor heating.

It is naturally ventilated, drawing in air through the side walls, and circulated by ceiling fans. The glass in the windows and sliding doors is treated to deflect sunlight and reduce heat gain during the summer months.

These measures form just one part of the 's commitment to Net Zero by 2030, an initiative we're actively working towards.

We loved helping Compass Group celebrate the achievements of their staff at their quarterly Be A Star awards 🌟

Guests enjoyed a selection of canapes before sitting down to enjoy three courses from our catering team. The finale was a surprise set from Sternberg Clarke's singing waiters!

It was such a joyful occasion and we were incredibly proud to receive such wonderful feedback from the client.
