A busy week of connecting and conversations for our Associate, Holly!

Starting at the AHC Conference in Manchester, catching up with familiar faces and meeting people from across the hospitality industry, followed by a session with Universal Studios learning more about their exciting new Bedford resort, set to open in 2031.

Finishing the week back on home turf at St James’ Park for the Newcastle United Business Club speed networking event in the newly refurbished Tidings Suite.

A great week of making new connections, strengthening relationships and talking all things hospitality and design.

Got a project in the pipeline? We’d love to hear from you.

Throwback! Dakota were privileged to help Robbie Scott out with the creation of Babucho in Gosforth. A New York-style brasserie located in a converted United Reformed Church on Gosforth High Street in Newcastle Upon Tyne. We’d highly recommend paying a visit to the stylish and vibrant setting to enjoy some delicious cuisine.
