What Camm and Hooper does

Spaces & Stories is a UK-based venue hire and events platform operating as a brand within Broadwick Group. Founded in June 2022 following Broadwick's 2021 acquisition of Venue Lab, the company manages a portfolio of more than 15 distinctive venues covering over 500,000 square metres of hybrid event space across London and Manchester. The portfolio spans historic landmarks (Control Room A at Battersea Power Station, Exhibition White City, Banking Hall), purpose-built modern venues (Magazine London, Landing Forty Two, Landing Canary Wharf), converted industrial spaces (Depot Mayfield, Drumsheds, 26 Leake Street, Freight Island, The Beams), and contemporary gallery venues (OXO2, Corner Corner, Broadwick Studio), with individual capacities ranging from intimate dinners to 15,000-person events.

The company's product offering rests on four pillars: venue hire (rental of listed spaces), bespoke hire (location-finding for custom briefs), venue management (third-party services for landlords and developers), and in-house technical production through its Vibration Production arm. Underlying technology consists of an event venue management and space activation platform supported by enquiry-based booking workflows, in-house AV/production capabilities, and a 'Stories' editorial showcase — with no public API, SDK, or algorithmic personalisation layer. The go-to-market is relationship-driven and enquiry-based (phone +44 20 3319 9332, email [email protected], website enquiry forms), targeting four primary segments: corporate event buyers, fashion and luxury brands (Burberry, Ralph & Russo, Raf Simons), music and entertainment promoters, and film/TV production companies (notably The Batman at Printworks).

Revenue is generated through quote-based, pay-as-you-go venue hire and bespoke location services, supplemented by recurring venue management mandates (e.g., Corner Corner for the £4bn Canada Water Masterplan with British Land and AustralianSuper; hybrid workspace venues within the WeWork portfolio). The forthcoming Broadwick–Smart Group joint-venture hospitality studio (launch 2026) will add an exclusive F&B revenue stream across the London portfolio. Group-level revenues exceed £100 million annually, with the portfolio hosting more than 2,500 events per year.
