Head of Legal & Commercial

 ABOUTEVENTBEDS™ BY NUBREED HOTELS LTD

EventBeds™ by NuBreed Hotels brings hotel accommodation into an easy-to-use booking widget tailored specifically for consumer and business event attendees. As a high growth start-up based in Sheffield and Poland, we collaborate with some of the world's most renowned brands and events. Our ambition is to become the market leader in event-based accommodation within the next few years, driven by cutting-edge technology, data-led insights, smart contracting, and operational excellence.

‍

OUR MISSION

The events industry generates $300 billion in hotel bookings annually, yet only 2% of event organisers, ticketing companies, and venues receive any associated commissions. Giants like Expedia and Hotels.com receive over $40 billion in annual commissions directly from event attendance. While the stakeholders who create this massive market miss out.

We've developed an easy-to-install hotel booking widget for event organisers, venues, and ticketing companies, empowering them to reclaim this lost revenue. With just a few lines of code, our widget integrates seamlessly into their websites or ticketing workflows, offering attendees unbeatable deals. We share our commissions and data insights with customers, adding a vital new revenue stream to their businesses and enabling future optimisation in sponsorship upsells, targeted promotions, and enhanced customer experiences.

OUR VALUES

·       Operational excellence.

·       Own and maintain the best data and systems.

·       Deliver the best event attendee experiencepossible.

·       Provide value for money for both attendees and organisers.
