Woolwich Works has transformed five historic grade II listed buildings on the Royal Arsenal into a ‘thriving new space’ for events and the arts. The multi-million pound project is being led by the Royal Borough of Greenwich to provide events and conference facilities for over 1,000 guests.
Jonny Whitfield, Clink Events managing director said: “Woolwich Works is an amazing new venue featuring large well-lit spaces that are very adaptable for large dinners, conferences and product launches, all kitted out with the latest technology.
“This is a fantastic opportunity for The Clink Events to grow, enabling us to train and find employment opportunities for more ex-offenders and vulnerable adults. Our ethos around training, rehabilitation and supporting people to enable their true potential are very much shared with Woolwich Works.”
One hundred percent of the profits made from Clink Events catering at Woolwich Works events will be used to help fund The Clink Charity’s training projects, which train up to 200 prisoners a day.
Justicia Adjei, sales manager from Woolwich Works, added: “We equally believe in providing opportunities no matter what your background and are so pleased that we can stretch this principle across the whole business. We are looking forward to hosting amazing corporate and private events in the coming months and years alongside their team.”
