why us

So why should thestudio be the next venue you use? Lets start simply. Customer First.

‘Customer First’ is our very simple mission statement. We’re passionate about giving our clients the best experience and really care about getting things right. Our aim is to exceed expectations so it goes without saying that we have a friendly, welcoming, client focused team at the forefront of everything we do. Our ‘Customer First’ mission statement is applied to all aspects of our work and is the reason our clients return time and again.

We’re not a large corporate chain and we’re really proud of that. We have been independently owned by the same team since 2006 and though we have grown since then our friendly, people focussed ethos and culture remain very much at our heart. Not only that but our independence allows us to focus on things that are close to our hearts – our people, our local communities and our environment.

Ultimately our vision is for our customers to say ‘why would we go anywhere else’!

To dive a bit deeper into why you should use us for your next booking take a look at our core values and client feedback below.

testimonials

We were delighted with our event at thestudioleeds.

The on-site staff, especially Sam, went above and beyond to take great care of us.

The food was first class, and all facilities were perfect.

I would not hesitate to recommend thestudio and will be considering you for future events

Thao Tran, Visit Orlando

I just wanted to email and say a massive thank you to all colleagues, especially Leah & Seb, who made our event on the 10th go perfectly.

Even the fire alarm didn’t impact our set up and the whole day just felt really relaxed. We will 100% be looking to use The Studio for future events.

Thanks for your patience and flexibility.

Samantha Hartles, NHS Charities Together

Everything was brilliant as always.

Thank you for your help and support and please pass on my thanks to all The Studio Team on site last Thursday who made sure everything ran smoothly and to time and looked after us all so well.

Lisa Evans, Energy Systems Catapult

From the offset, my experience with The Studio was nothing short of superb. They were quick to respond to our enquiry, and couldn't have been more accommodating with our requests to view the venue, even when we had to reschedule due to the typical British drizzle. The lead up and planning of the event was stress free, with no question or request being too much. The staff are all welcoming whilst also being extremely helpful, and the onsite chefs certainly know their way around a BBQ. Whilst the outside of the building may just look like another block of meeting rooms, this couldn't be further from the truth and the Atrium was the perfect place to host our Summer BBQ. We can't wait to return and for anyone considering using The Studio as a venue, I can guarantee you won't regret it.

Olivia Hanson, Solus Ceramics

I don’t even know where to start – first and foremost one of the easiest booking experiences I’ve had.

The Duty Manager always had a smile on his face – such a great positive attitude made everything just awesome. The AV - I don’t think I’ve ever had everything work first time every time. The catering staff were amazing and the food was great and plentiful, everyone just had a fantastic time and I really appreciate every little thing that was done to make the team feel welcome.

Everyone just had a fantastic time and I really appreciate every little thing that was done to make the team feel welcome. Honestly, one of the best days out we’ve had. Thank you so much for everything.

Jane Prinsloo, HS2

Just wanted to drop you a quick note to say we had a fabulous day yesterday.

The team at Leeds are great and they couldn’t be more helpful.

So, I just wanted to drop you an email to say thank you! The venue, your team and the delicious food really helped to make the conference a success!

Lauren Juniper, Moda in Pelle

I just wanted to write to thank you for yesterday. Our event was a real success and the support, attention and service we got from you and all your team was exceptional. Nothing was too much trouble and the venue, facilities, catering and emergency assistance when we faced challenges was above and beyond which makes a huge difference when you are stressed about hosting an event.

Please do pass on the sentiment to all your team, who were superb!

Duncan Anthony, The Frontline

The meeting went really well and I received a lot of feedback saying how much the liked the venue. I was really impressed with the space and all the facilities/food etc. The staff were amazing - really helpful, nothing was too much trouble.

Selina Perrin, Canal & River Trust

I’ve had lots of positive feedback about the facilities and the lots of compliments on the food that tasted good but also it was perfect quantities so not much waste!

We are really looking forward to doing our event with you again next year!

Zoe Printer, The Firm Network

We were absolutely delighted by the level of service that we received at ‘thestudio...’. Lunch and refreshments were delicious and the venue was beautiful. The décor was great and the venue just felt like a warm comfortable place. The staff were very hardworking and helpful as they had everything prepped for our breaks on time and were always cleaning/replenishing anything without us needing to ask. A big shout to Sam who kept asking if we needed anything! We could not fault our experience in the slightest. We will undoubtedly be booking again.”

Leah Taylor, Broadway House Chambers

The team at thestudio are amazing. They’ve saw us through lockdown brilliantly when we craved ‘getting together’ while keeping apart and are our go to venue of choice. They are flexible and client focussed which, for us, is essential. The light bright rooms and lunches, oh man… the lunches, always score highly with our attendees! We’d highly recommend working with them.

Rena Crossley, The Alternative Board (www.thealternativeboard.co.uk)

The studio provided a really creative and exciting space to deliver our event. All the staff were friendly and more than accommodating and we will definitely be approaching the studio when we have events in the future.

Tom Haigh, The Challenge

I would like to say on behalf of the team here at Aspire4u a MASSIVE THANK YOU for the Studio’s sponsorship of the Brilliant Birmingham Christmas party. It is very rare that we come across people and organisations that are so genuinely kind and supportive. The event was a huge success and we would not have been able to do it without your support. It was a perfect celebration of our five years. The twitterverse was alight and everyone loved the food.

Daniella Genas, Aspire4u

We have been using the Studio for over a year now and continue to be impressed by the customer relations, before and during the event, the fresh and bright environment of the Studio along with the excellent audio visual support. It is by far the best event setting I have used in 20 years of being an events coordinator.

John Sainsbury, Dechen

We've used Manchester a number of times and used Leeds in October last year. We get great service every time, the set-up is perfect, the space itself is interesting and the food is great - our delegates love thestudio!

Kate Maughan, Northern Housing Consortium

You are our favourite events venue!
