Meet the team
Established in 2018, we're a growing team of events experts based in the booming tech hub that is the UK's Midlands. We're passionate about problem solving, simplifying processes and using tech to take the hassle out of tasks that should be frankly hassle-free.
We couldn't get our heads around the fact it is easier and quicker to book a flight than it is to book an event space in our own city. So we couldn't help but start working on the solution: Switch.
From restaurants to race tracks, we know a thing or two about the events industry. Between us, we have over 20 years' experience in hospitality tech and events management. Meet the team...
