How We Work

DIAGNOSIS
Understand the Business
We review your current performance, pipeline, structure and revenue streams. This gives a clear view of what is working, what is underperforming and where the gaps are.
VALIDATE
Understand the Market
We test your position against the wider market through research, competitor analysis and stakeholder insight. This ensures decisions are grounded in real demand, not assumptions.

Why They Trust Us
Build for Venues
with Untapped Potential
Most venues thrive in their core purpose: performance, education, or sport. But their corporate potential? Too often it goes untapped.
We help venues with strong foundations unlock secondary revenue through meetings, conferences, and business events, all without losing sight of what they’re known for.
At NAEC Stoneleigh, we took event volume from 220 to nearly 300, grew revenue from £5.2m to £6.6m, and increased new business from 21 events to 126 (all in under three years).
When we say we know what works, it’s because we’ve delivered it.
Plug In Team Model

Scales With You

Commercially Focused
Everything we do drives sales, visibility, or conversion.
Real-World Experience
We’ve worked directly inside venues, suppliers, and agencies.
