They excelled in the entire opening process, recruitment, training, and all processes involved in launching a large venue on a tight schedule.

"We asked SSZL to head up a business-critical turnaround project at Neon Piccadilly. They grabbed the bull by the horns and didn’t hesitate making improvements, appointing a senior GM, bar manager, and sales manager. SzZL also added £300k of new events business across the year via their black book, meaning they paid for themselves and directly added profit to the bottom line. Good job done."
