Thirty years in hospitality. Now with Chad.
Kanvass is a boutique hospitality agency in London, founded in 2015 by Tristram Hillier after three decades leading and growing restaurant and bar businesses. They’ve spent ten years on consultancy, interior design and project management for independents, hotels and multi-site groups, getting venues open and trading.
They know what makes a venue work. Chad makes sure guests can find it.
“The Kanvass team really understood our brand and what we were looking for. They evolved the design and increased covers at our busy London Bridge restaurant.”
“Smart, creative and industry savvy. The team have a wealth of expertise across all project areas. A valuable part of our team.”
