Our Team.
The Cutlers Hall is a magnificent building, as you can see, from the exterior all the way through to the interior. It's certainly a dream place you would want to host your event.
But who are the people behind the events? Who creates such mouth-watering dinners? Who so delicately lays out each place setting at feasts?

James Birch
Business Development Manager
About James....
James has been a valued member of the team for 10 years. He has helped organise the majority of events we have taken on over those years and still strives to increase sales wherever possible. James started working as bar staff however his talents saw him grow over a short space of time to becoming a key member of The Cutlers’ Hospitality Team. His favourite room is the Main Hall as, in his own words,
"for obvious reasons, have you seen it”
A few words from James...
As Business Development Manager it is my role to seek new & exciting business opportunities. We are a very small team at the venue so whilst my job is to look for new business, I also deal with a lot of my own clients to create their dream event. Over the past 10 years I have built a lot of business relationships and have been involved with a variety of different events, every day is different and every event is different.
His hobbies
In my spare time I like to spend time with my son along with playing football and from my sins supporting the ‘Massive’ Sheffield Wednesday!!

Toni Charlotte
Events Sales Executive
About Toni...
Toni is the latest member to join The Cutlers’ Hall Hospitality department as she joins the sales team at the busiest time of year (Christmas). Toni has slotted straight in to the role bringing fresh ideas and a touch of glamour to the sales office. She joins us from a retail and hospitality background so she is no stranger to being a part of the organisation and running of events. Toni's favourite room in the venue is the Main Hall as its divine elegance speaks for itself, however she also loves the Silver Vestibule as it is home to world-wide known historical artifacts.
A few words from Toni...
As Events Sales executive it is my job to respond to all sales enquiries, which I absolutely adore as I put together bespoke packages for our clientele to ensure that their events are of high standard and precisely what they envisage. As I have only just joined the team here, I am beginning to form relationships with the Cutlers' Hall clients with the intent to maintain and build on them. I monitor and update our social media sites as well as this blog.
Her passions and interests...
I'm pretty similar to a Labrador, I love a good walk in the countryside and I'm always excited for food!
In my spare time you can find me socialising with my friends in the local bars.
I like to spend some of my weekends travelling around the country exploring different cities (as long as COVID lets me). I have a keen interest in performing arts and musical theatre as I have a background of studying Drama at GCSE and A-level as well as being a part of a Musical Theatre company from a young age. I love going to the cinema and getting lost in a good book..
