Our Story
Built for hospitality. Shaped by relationships. Refined by experience.
Punch began in 2007 as a team of three friends who believed great work should be built on great relationships. That belief still matters. As the agency has grown, the focus has remained the same: to build strong partnerships, stay close to the work and create an environment where clients feel supported, understood and confident in the direction of travel. The idea of making every day matter still runs through that thinking, in the way we work with clients, with each other and with the work itself.
Over time, our specialism in hospitality has become sharper and more deliberate. We have seen that growth in this sector rarely comes from activity alone. More often, it comes from creating a better connection between commercial thinking and marketing execution, between what a business wants to achieve and what needs to happen to get there.
Since 2007
That is why Punch Hospitality sits between consultancy and agency. It is a model designed to create greater clarity, stronger cohesion and more effective delivery as strategy moves into action.
We are based in a Grade II listed chapel on the edge of Leeds, a space we bought in 2016 and made our own. In many ways it reflects the business we have built: independent, full of character and designed to bring people together. We believe hospitality brands value specialist knowledge, honest relationships and a partner that can see the bigger commercial picture while staying closely connected to the work.
“Client trust is all about your relationship to risk, we need to earn your trust for us to deliver. As owners of our business we have always taken that client trust very seriously.”
