Quantuma rescues London-based Camm & Hooper events business out of administration
Specialists from business advisory firm Quantuma have completed the sale of London-based events firm Camm & Hooper Limited, together with its sister company Camm & Hooper Waterloo Limited, out of administration. The pre-pack sale secured the future of the business, which has four sites across London, and saved 72 jobs.
Quantuma’s Brian Burke and Andrew Andronikou were appointed as joint administrators of Camm & Hooper on 13 March 2025. Following a successful marketing process, they completed the sale of the business to a wholly owned subsidiary of Broadwick Group Limited. All 72 staff from Camm & Hooper have transferred to the purchaser under TUPE regulations.
Founded in 2010, Camm & Hooper was a well-established events management brand known for operating in iconic London venues including Banking Hall, Oxo 2 and 26 Leake Street, where they delivered a wide range of events for corporate and private clients.
The Group reported turnover of £10.5m in 2024, having invested in expanding its portfolio of event spaces in recent years, the prevailing market conditions resulted in a slower than anticipated return on investment and the Group began to encounter cashflow issues. As a result, it explored raising new equity, whilst also seeking a buyer. Although a sale was progressed that would have resulted in additional working capital being injected into its trading businesses, and negotiations had reached an advance stage, the sale unfortunately fell through, and the business was unable to restructure outside of a formal insolvency process.
Brian Burke, joint administrator and managing director at Quantuma, responded: “I am very pleased to have achieved such a positive outcome for this well-established, reputable business. We are delighted to have secured the long-term future of the firm, ensuring that 72 employees’ jobs have been saved. The sale will allow the business to continue its journey. We look forward to seeing its new owners achieve success in its next chapter, and its clients continuing to enjoy their events at these prestigious London venues.
Additionally, our thanks go to the team at Greenberg Traurig, our solicitors, led by Aaron Harlow and Adam Potter, and to the team at SIA Group led by Kevin Counihan, that provided asset valuation assistance. Their work was integral in successfully delivering this transaction.”
