Battle of the Bids � New Baths Halls First Event
23 January 2010 by Scunny Independent News
With the Baths Hall still a hole in the ground the first event to kick off at the new venue looks like a battle of the bids!
The council are currently examining bids from 3 companies to run and manage the new Baths Hall once it has been rebuilt.
The contenders are in alphabetical order
HQ Theatres
HQ Theatres currently manage 7 venues mainly in the south of England including the Pavilion and the Palace theatres in Southend and have their head offices is High Holbourn London.
S.I.V.
Sheffield International Venues Ltd are surprisingly a Sheffield based group who have reportedly boosted Sheffields economy to the tune of �12M in 2009 through the management of the local council�s 14 venues across the city.
SMG
SMG Europe are part of a much larger world wide event management company whos portfolio in the UK includes such prestigious venues as the Manchester Evening News Arena Manchester�s Bridge Water Hall and the little known Whitley Bay Playhouse.
Lets hope the council stipulate as part of the contract that which ever operator is awarded the contract they must bring at least 4 main stream acts to the new venue each year.
