Leicester events company opens new London office following £20m turnover target

Leicester-based events company, Imperial Corporate Events is celebrating its announcement of two new city offices in Leicester and London.

Imperial Corporate Events is set to re-locate its Leicester HQ to a newly designed office space based in the Leicester Mercury building on November 6, 2018.

As well as moving its HQ to facilitate growth, the company recently announced the launch of Imperial Corporate Events London, located next door to the Bank of England.

Established in 2002 by Leicestershire-based founders, Peter Frisby, Glenn Foston and Robert Poutch, the company has experienced major growth, with revenue hitting £15m.

Robert Poutch said: “We’re really excited about growing into our new offices - they’ve been a long time coming, but we’re more than ready to step things up a gear following another successful year.

“Leicester has been a fantastic base for us and we’re hoping that we can open our arms to great local talent and encourage more people to consider hospitality sales as a career.

“Our new offices in both Leicester and London will give us the opportunity to seriously expand our team over the next three years and quickly smash through our £20m turnover target.”

The business is said to have its sights set on achieving growth by positioning itself as an employer of choice within the local area, and will be expanding its team of 80 staff to 110 within the next three years.

Imperial Corporate Events offer hospitality packages for worldwide events such as the Monaco Grand Prix, Royal Ascot, the US Masters and Wimbledon.
