ArrangeMY has acquired the client list and confirmed bookings from longstanding events specialist Combination Venues.
The Worcester-based TMC, which ranked as the 23rd largest in the UK in BTN Europe’s Leading TMCs 2023 report, said the deal was forged because Combination Venues’ owners Sue and Steve Petrucci have decided to retire.
Combination Venues, which is also based in Worcestershire, specialises in sourcing the most suitable venues for corporate events and has been operating for nearly 30 years.
Nick Scott, arrangeMY’s managing director, said: “As no stranger to growing by acquisition, we see this merger as an opportunity to bolster our offering.
“We are aware of the amazing reputation that Sue, Steve and the team have in the industry, and we are excited at the prospect of supporting their clients by being able to provide them with an even wider range of services.”
Following the acquisition, Steve Petrucci will join the venue sourcing team at arrangeMY on an interim basis to aid the client transition.
Sue Petrucci, managing director of Combination Venues, added: “Having known Nick and the Scott family for many years, I believe the transition and change will be a great fit, which will see significant service benefits for our existing clients.”
