About us

Caroline Bull
Managing Director

Caroline set up CCT Venues in 2005.  Caroline has over 20 year’s experience working in the non-residential London venue sector, designing, opening and managing 8 diverse venues. 

In 2005 Caroline recognised a gap in the market for an independent venue group where value for money, integrity and the very best customer service are the key goals. Building and maintaining close relationships with clients; creating a strong team culture amongst all employees at CCT Venues, and constantly looking for ways to improve service, remain the central drivers today.

James started his career in hospitality in his early teens.

Like Caroline, James is driven by a desire to be the best in the industry for customer service and operational standards.
