Picture this; two best friends from university, living it up in New York City. It's 2009 and they're blown away by the endless nightlife knowledge of their hotel concierge. The following night, and after a few too many frozen margaritas, a business idea was born. The two friends decided they'd had enough of half-baked websites and the ever-present hassle of planning a decent day and night out back home in London. The UK needed a site to discover and unlock secret, new and unique city experiences, from events to bars and restaurants, but also, a site to help plan and book online, too.
And so... DesignMyNight was born.
The two friends ditched their corporate roles and worked their socks off around the clock to create the first version of DesignMyNight.com. Since then, we've launched in over 20 cities and towns in the UK, Australia and Ireland, have been acquired by powerhouse The Access Group and created our very own bookings and enquiries system, Collins, one of the leading ticketing platforms in the UK, Tonic and voucher software, Soda.
