From the administrators' statement
The Company was incorporated on 13 November 2000, to provide hospitality services with the aim to deliver entertainment experiences for various types of functions. From its inception the business focused on offering tallored hospitality packages, combining jive entertainment, themed disco parties and a variety of social events that quickly captured public interest.
The Company's first venue opened in Leicester, serving as a hub for nightlife and corporate functions. With emphasis on customer experience and entertainment quality, the Leicester venue quickly gained popularity, laying the foundation for future expansion of the business, Building on this initial success, the Company opened its second venue in Nottingham in 2002, followed by a third in Milton Keynes in 2003. Each location was carefully selected to maximise regional reach and cater to growing demand.
In addition to its venue operations, the Company acquired Henderson Management, an entertainment agency that plays a key role in supporting the business’s broader offering. Henderson Management specialises in entertainment bookings, providing access to a wide range of performers, DJs, and event professionals. This strategic integration allowed the Company to streamline its operations.
