THE 8 NORTHUMBERLAND AVENUE TEAM

At 8 Northumberland Avenue it's clear to see that we adore our jobs. Our MD and founder Charles Boyd has instilled this love and knowledge for events and our venue across the team. Quite simply we can't be persuaded that anywhere beyond our centrally located London venue is quite as wow a place to work and that's why you'll see familiar happy faces over the years. The ethos of our team is to strive to continue to learn, to deliver above and beyond expectations and to feel that buzz of events through to our core.
