Tech Den Revival
Repurposing empty and failing venues into Tech Den locations. Tech Den Revival is the property and venue activation division of the group. It helps landlords and venue owners bring unused, empty or struggling pubs, hospitality sites and large units back to life through learning, gaming, digital services, food, drink, events and revenue share.

Property model
Built for hard-to-let venues
Tech Den Revival is designed for empty pubs, hospitality sites and large units that need a broader all-day revenue model.
The problem
Traditional reletting models do not fit every site.
Many empty pubs, restaurants and large hospitality units need something broader than another food-led operator.
Traditional food and drink models carry high staffing pressure.
Utilities, fit-out risk and evening dependence make reletting harder.
Large pubs and hospitality units often sit empty because the old model no longer stacks up.
The solution
Tech Den uses the building throughout the day.
One venue can support learning, gaming, digital services, food, drink and events in different trading windows.
Daytime academy sessions and home education use
Student use, remote working and digital services
After-school gaming and memberships
Food, drink, parties and tournaments
Evening events and selective late-night trade where licensing supports it
Ideal property
The strongest sites already have useful venue bones.
Existing hospitality features reduce fit-out friction and support phased launch.

Important
