About Us
A consultancy built on experience, not theory
Our Story
Founded in Bath. Working across the UK.
The Bath Events Company was established in 2007 to offer something that is genuinely difficult to find: senior-level commercial consultancy that combines strategic thinking with real operational experience of hospitality, venues and events.
We work with organisations that are serious about improving their commercial performance — whether that means growing revenue, reducing costs, improving the quality of their events or building a more sustainable business model. Our clients range from universities and Students' Unions to independent hospitality businesses and event venues.
We are based in Bath — a city with a rich tradition of hospitality, culture and events — and we work with clients across the United Kingdom. Our engagements vary in scale and duration, from short-term reviews and health checks to longer-term strategic partnerships.
Our Expertise
Decades of combined experience across the sector
Our work draws on extensive hands-on experience of managing and improving commercial operations in hospitality, higher education and the events sector. We have held senior operational and strategic roles, managed large teams, delivered complex events and worked with boards and leadership teams to drive commercial improvement. That experience informs everything we do — it is why our advice is practical rather than theoretical, and why our clients trust us to tell them what they need to hear.
Higher Education & Students' Unions
We have worked extensively within universities and Students' Unions, understanding the unique commercial, governance and cultural context of these organisations.
Hospitality & Food and Beverage
From catering operations and bars to restaurants and hotel food and beverage, we bring deep knowledge of hospitality management and the commercial levers that drive performance.
Venues & Event Spaces
We understand how venues work commercially — from sales and marketing through to operational delivery — and how to improve performance across the full venue management cycle.
Events & Live Experiences
We have planned and delivered events of all sizes and types, from large-scale graduation ceremonies and public festivals to corporate conferences and private dining.
How We Work
Principles we hold to in every engagement
Honesty before comfort
We tell clients what they need to hear, not what they want to hear. Honest assessment is the foundation of useful advice.
Practical over theoretical
Our recommendations are grounded in what actually works in practice. We have no interest in frameworks that look impressive but cannot be implemented.
Partnership, not prescription
We work with your team, not around them. The best outcomes come from genuine collaboration, and we invest in understanding your organisation properly before offering advice.
Proportionate and focused
We scope our work carefully and do not over-engineer engagements. You should get exactly the support you need — no more, no less.
