Army & Navy Club London – Re-imagining the Gentleman’s Club

In response to a request from Mr. Stephen Simmons – an esteemed committee member of this wonderful club in the heart of London. A club that has thrived through over a century of armed conflict and international piece. Mr. Simmons set us an objective to review the Army & Navy Club and to advise on improvements to this classic institution.

My survey of this property focused on the following areas for this famous club

  • The Human capital and specifically the focus of management with recommendations for rationalization and improvement.

  • Better use of extensive F&B facilities and recommendations on how to better present these for a younger audience.

  • Renovation of existing hotel room product and recommendations for added comfort and value to members and guests.

  • Review of all back of house support areas, staff facilities and parking areas.

Overall the mission was completed to the satisfaction of the operating committee with a large array of recommendations for improvement of the club with the key drive being to improve membership numbers and usage of the Army & Navy Club which has its strong competitors amongst other services clubs in London.

We are happy to say that our advice as a consulting firm has helped them to redraw the Management team and at the time of writing I had a recent discussion with Mr. Simmons who sees the club as making great strides to regain a pre-eminent position amongst London Services Clubs.

This club incidentally has an inspiring Art Collection of British Military history – in itself a very good reason to keep this wonderful club in tip-top shape!
