Leeds hospitality business Dine sees turnover hit £2.6m

Dine, the Leeds-based hospitality and event management specialist, has reported a 9% increase in group turnover to £2.6m.

Dine’s results for the financial year of 2015-16, which ended in October 2016, were boosted by outside catering division Dine Events, which contributed £1.1m to the group results.

The company continues to see solid growth at its flagship venue The Mansion in Roundhay Park, which is a wedding venue and also serves as the headquarters of the business.

Dine offers a range of services from venue management to event planning and hospitality.

The company recently provided its hospitality services at the launch of John Lewis in Hammerson’s landmark Victoria Gate scheme in Leeds and partnered with the Bolton Abbey Estate on the first major concert to be hosted at the abbey in its 800-year history.

Founder Dan Gill said: “This year has seen Dine add a raft of prestigious and historic new locations to our venue portfolio.

“We pride ourselves on thinking differently, as evidenced by our venue management team which has pioneered virtual venue tours for our key venues to stimulate interest and sales.

“From inventive conference menus aligned to organiser’s objectives - offering low-carb, high-energy menus for high energy levels in the afternoon for instance - or simply a playful picnic in the office, Dine’s approach is always to go beyond the expected.”

Dine caters for more than 100 corporate events and 200 weddings annually, as well as providing exclusive private dining.

The business provides event services for organisations ranging from English Heritage and the National Trust to the owners of some of the UK’s most notable private houses.
