Broadwick Group has secured a new financing partnership to accelerate its next phase of expansion in the UK and internationally.
The global cultural real estate and live-experience company is behind venues such as Magazine London, Printworks London and Manchester’s Depot Mayfield.
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.
The funding from Lloyds is a significant step 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, will support the recent acquisition of hospitality operator Camm & Hooper – adding 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.
Broadwick has also entered a new partnership with Troxy, the East London music hall, to increase capacity and add new facilities.
The company’s venues include hosting of large-scale music and cultural events, 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.
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.”
Declan Mulcahy, relationship director at Lloyds Bank, said: “Broadwick’s vision for how culture, hospitality and real estate can work together is redefining the live-experience sector. It’s a privilege to support a business that continues to set new standards for creativity, regeneration, and economic impact – both in London and internationally.”
Steven Knight, director of growth & structured finance at Lloyds Bank, added: “Broadwick exemplifies the type of forward-thinking, high-growth company that our growth & structured finance team is built to support. This bespoke funding package enables the business to accelerate its strategy, unlock new opportunities, and continue shaping the future of global cultural infrastructure.”
