10% + VAT now payable on all room hire and pre-booked food and beverage
Lord’s, the ‘Home of Cricket’, has revised its commission policy and is now offering 10% + VAT on all pre-booked room hire, food and beverage to bona fide agents.
The prestigious Ground has increasingly come to the fore as the venue of choice for high profile corporate dinners, charity events as well as conferences, meetings and weddings. Clients include FTSE-100 corporations along with Sky, Simmons and Simmons, Jaguar, Deutsche Bank and charity events for The Prince’s Trust and The Sailors Society.
Dating back to 1787, Lord’s prides itself on quintessential traditions married with the iconic architecture synonymous with the Media Centre. Events can be hosted across the Ground’s unique rooms and alfresco spaces including exclusive access to the Pavilion, home of MCC, one of the most revered private members’ clubs in the world.
Hosting events at Lord’s also offers planners one of the most prolific branding opportunities in the UK through the use of Lord’s scoreboards for the display of corporate logos.
Menus are designed by Head Chef Steven Smith with English provenance as order of the day; organic meat sourced from award winning Pipers Farm, Cullompton and field fresh vegetables and herbs delivered daily.
Nick Kenton, Meetings & Events Sales Manager said; “We are keen to ensure that we offer the best value for event planners; hence we have increased commission levels to be in line with today’s demands. We have seen confirmed business and enquiry levels for Lord’s increase through the HBA and event agency community and we are keen to reward third parties for their commitment to us.”
