AV Technician

US

Ministry of Sound opened in 1991 in a disused bus garage in a forgotten corner of South London. It was the first nightclub in the UK to have a 24-hour licence, didn't serve alcohol and featured an earth-shaking sound system in a specially constructed dance box.

We went on to become the world's largest independent record company, now with Sony, and stage giant dance events, including one for over 50,000 people at the O2 during the millennium. We were pioneers in electronic music and have a history of taking risks, innovation, and colourful and creative marketing.

Thirty years later we opened The Ministry, a workspace run as a member's club, in a 50,000sq. ft Victorian warehouse in SE1. The design is relaxed but functional with a bar, opening windows, an outside courtyard and plenty of space to sit, relax, work and socialise – everything you wouldn't expect to find in a standard office. There's great home cooked F&B, a state-of-the-art gym and fitness studio with daily classes,together with a cultural and business events programme.

As a business we don't take ourselves too seriously, like to laugh and have fun, but we have high standards, a relentless attention to detail and the continuous improvement of our product, and we work hard as a team. We hate cliché, doing things the way others do and continuously seek to differentiate our brands and products almost as a point of pride.
