Broadwick secures eight-figure investment to power the future of cultural infrastructure in London and beyond

Broadwick Group – the global cultural real estate and live-experience company behind landmark destinations such as Printworks London, Magazine London, and Manchester’s Depot Mayfield – has secured a new financing partnership to accelerate its next phase of expansion in the UK and internationally.

Led by founders Simon Tracey, Simeon Aldred and Bradley Thompson, with Gareth Cooper and Jon Drape, Broadwick’s growing portfolio consists of 24 venues in the UK and US – including the new Brooklyn Storehouse in New York City – and reflects a new generation of hybrid destinations. Each space shares a single purpose: to bring people together and inspire the future of live culture, creating places where music, art, technology, and commerce meet.

The funding from Lloyds marks a significant milestone in Broadwick’s long-term strategy to scale its network of venues and services.

The eight-figure investment, brokered by the debt advisor Alvarez & Marshall LLP, will support the recent acquisition of hospitality operator Camm & Hooper – adding iconic London venues such as Banking Hall, OXO2 and 26 Leake Street to the Broadwick portfolio – alongside major site upgrades and the creation of new jobs in London and beyond.

Broadwick currently employs more than 200 permanent team members, including 35 colleagues from Camm & Hooper’s existing staff and a further 50 new roles within its growing catering and hospitality division – underscoring the Group’s commitment to job creation, skills development, and sustainable growth across the sector.

Broadwick has also entered a new partnership with Troxy, the iconic East London music hall, to increase capacity and add state-of-the-art facilities.

As London’s cultural and events landscape continues to evolve, Broadwick is focused on creating ‘must-attend’ venues and experiences that strengthen the city’s reputation on the global stage. Its venues host everything from large-scale music and cultural events to international brand launches, art installations, film productions, and high-end corporate experiences.

Alongside its venue portfolio, Broadwick delivers a full end-to-end offering across events, hospitality, and production – transforming heritage buildings, industrial conversions, and purpose-built destinations into experiences that unite creativity with commerce. From concept and catering to design, production, and technical delivery, Broadwick’s integrated model supports its ambition to build a connected network of spaces that serve both the 9-to-5 and the 5-to-9 alike.

Simon Tracey, Group CEO at Broadwick, said: “Broadwick was founded to connect people through remarkable spaces – from global music events to major brand launches and creative gatherings. As our portfolio continues to expand across the UK and US, we’re focused on building the next generation of hybrid destinations: places that inspire, perform, and endure.”

“The support from Lloyds gives us the ability to invest in growth, talent, and infrastructure – ensuring our spaces continue to deliver long-term value for partners, audiences, and cities.”
