Searcys has relaunched its venue sourcing business, The Collection Events, as The Collection Events by Searcys, bringing venue finding and central sales together under one proposition.
The move strengthens the business’s ability to support both Searcys key accounts and The Collection Events client base with venue finding across London and the UK. Whether that’s a ‘home’ venue within Searcys the wider WSH portfolio, or a venue elsewhere in the wider industry, clients will have a dedicated account manager to guide them through the process. From historic, characterful spaces to contemporary event venues, clients can work with their Account Manager to explore options that best suit their brief.
With almost 180 years of experience in hospitality and events, Searcys brings an established network of venues, industry expertise and a deep understanding of what makes an event work. The Collection Events by Searcys builds on this heritage, combining Searcys’ own portfolio with a much wider network of venues to give clients greater choice and flexibility when planning their events.
The relaunch reflects growing demand from organisations seeking support for events across multiple locations and markets. Clients will have access to venue sourcing services across London, the UK and into 2027, Europe. This is supported by industry expertise, longstanding venue relationships and tailored recommendations. Europe will become an important new area of growth, further expanding the range of venues available to clients.
“Our clients are increasingly looking for support that goes beyond finding a single venue. They need trusted advice, access to a broad range of options and one person who understands their brief and can help them navigate the large number of venues we have in the UK” says Holly Davies, Head of Sales, The Collection Events. “Bringing the business under the Searcys name gives us the opportunity to offer that service at greater scale, while retaining the relationships and industry expertise that our clients value.”
“Bringing Searcys’ central sales team and The Collection Events together under one brand gives us a much stronger proposition for both clients and venue partners,” says Rebecca Hawkes, Director of Sales, Searcys. “Most importantly, it means we can offer clients everything they need through one dedicated point of contact. Each client has individual Account Management throughout the process, from understanding the initial brief to sourcing and recommending the perfect venues. This allows us to build stronger relationships, provide a more consistent service and make venue sourcing much simpler for our clients.”
While technology continues to transform the way, people search for and book venues, The Collection Events by Searcys is proud to put relationships at the heart of the business, with the team drawing on deep industry knowledge and long-standing venue partnerships to help clients identify the venues best suited to their objectives. The team also works closely with Searcys events as their preferred external caterer, production companies and venue partners to help deliver successful events from the initial brief to delivery.
Staying ahead of the latest industry trends, The Collection Events by Searcys continually seeks out the most exciting venues, emerging experiences and fresh ideas, ensuring clients have access to the very best the market has to offer.
The relaunch is supported by a refreshed visual identity, an updated website and launch campaign designed to introduce the expanded offer to clients, venue partners and the wider events industry
