about us:
We are searching for an enthusiastic person to join our Sales and Event Co-Ordination team at thestudio in Birmingham City Centre.

Though we’ve grown a lot our friendly, people focused ethos and culture very much remains at our heart. It’s important to us that everyone that attends one of locations feels welcome and looked after. We’re not a large corporate chain and we’re really proud of that. We work hard. We are ourselves.
