Mothership Group owns and operates some of East London's most loved hangouts: Queen of Hoxton, The Book Club and Colours as well as Patterns on the seafront in Brighton. We are an events operator and venue group aimed at creative twenty-somethings and underpinned by a head-turning programme of music and cultural events.
We organize over 1000 events a year spanning music, tech, film, fashion, art and comedy both in-house and with promotors ranging from the established to grass-roots leftfield newbies. Every month we reach over a million people over social media and PR.
We're always current, often thought-provoking, frequently controversial and when we're done crafting, philosophizing, and debating, we like to let our hair down and party. If you like the sound of us, come and join in.
Commercial Director.Jon Ross
Oxford University grad Jon left a career in management consultancy behind to follow his dream of running restaurants and bars. He's been in the licensed trade since 1999 and bought his first venture, Dust, in Clerkenwell in 2001. Since then has built up Mothership Group with Andy and Heather. Mad about food and drinks, he's also got a strong track record of delivering great returns and shareholder value. He brings business sense and commercial discipline to the team.
Operations Director.Andy Maddocks
Andy brings twenty years' experience of running bars and restaurants and heads up the operations side of the business. He managed flagship sites for Pitcher and Piano and Slug and Lettuce before becoming an area manager for SFI, running twelve sites with a combined turnover of over £14m. Obsessive about customer service, he instils a great sense of fun in the company and inspires amazing loyalty from his team. A great all-rounder and a very safe pair of hands.
