CCT Venues' Story
We have grown to become a premier provider of event space in London, this is CCT Venues' story, from humble beginnings to where we are today!
Where it all began…
Founded in 2005, CCT Venues is now one of London’s premier providers of event space. Today we proudly operate from our flagship site, CCT Venues – Smithfield, a vibrant, characterful venue in the heart of the city with excellent transport links and a reputation for first-class service.
Our success has always been built on more than just space. We pride ourselves on our welcoming, responsive and highly personalised approach to customer service – the reason so many of our clients return to us time and again. Whether for conferences, training, meetings or corporate hospitality, our clients know they can expect outstanding facilities, a flexible approach and fantastic food.
Unlike many of our competitors, we remain a privately-owned business. That independence gives us the freedom to adapt quickly, innovate, and deliver exactly what our clients need.
Innovation and Leadership
CCT Venues was founded by Caroline Bull, a leading figure in London’s venue sector for over 30 years. After two decades at the helm, Caroline has now retired as Chief Executive but continues to play an important role on our Board of Directors.
We are now led by Managing Director James Russ, who is steering CCT Venues into an exciting new era – one that builds on our strong reputation while continuing to innovate and evolve with the needs of our clients.
With a diverse client base across sectors including banking, accountancy, professional services, legal, media, higher education and the public sector, we remain a trusted partner for organisations across London and beyond.
What Makes Us Different
We’re different from most of the other providers in our sector because after many years in the field, we’re still a privately-owned, family-run business, and our personal level of customer service shows that.
Our Personal Service
We pride ourselves on providing really helpful, responsive and personalised service. That’s how we develop such strong relationships with our clients, most of whom come back time and time again. Take a look at our reviews and see for yourself.
Our Environment
In addition to our high-quality, dedicated conference, training, meeting space, our venue has changed considerably over the years to reflect the advances in technology and to create an engaging and aesthetically pleasing, collaborative environment all the while ensuring our focus on service excellence has never altered.
We are constantly adapting to implement meaningful change. We are environmentally conscious and prioritise environmental best practice with a focus on sustainability, striving to improve where we can. Take a look at how we try to do our part.
Our Food
Of course, the fantastic food helps too! We are particularly proud of our culinary choice and quality. Our on-site professional kitchens and team of wonderful chefs and hosts, ensure that eating and drinking is a highlight of any event. Whether it is a delicious working breakfast, a tasty, nutritious lunch or a sophisticated evening reception, clients are sure to love it.
Thank you for visiting our website. We hope you experience excellent facilities, food and service at one of our venues soon, and return to us many times in the future.
James Russ, our Managing Director, is proud to be leading the CCT Venues business, stating:
“For us, it’s always been about people. We’re an independent venue business with a close-knit team that genuinely cares about what we do. Great food and warm, attentive service are at the heart of everything, and we’re passionate about making every event run well.”
