Mark Fuller - Sanctum Soho and Sanctum on the Green
Massively influential and incredibly well connected, Mark Fuller has long been a stalwart of the UK entertainment scene. From London clubland to the world of boutique hotels, high end dining and VIP hospitality, Fuller’s presence is felt everywhere. It is the Sanctum Hotel and Embassy club that he is most closely associated with though.
In 2003 Mark joined forces with Iron Maiden manager and chairman of Sanctuary Music Group Andy Taylor to form Concept Venues. They went on to open Inn on the Green in Cookham Dean, Berkshire, a fine dining restaurant and hotel, before buying and refurbishing upmarket fish and chips restaurant Geales in Chelsea in 2007. Shortly after, both partners embarked on their most ambitious project yet, opening the five star, £10 million boutique private member’s hotel Soho Sanctum in March 2009, which continues to be a roaring success, attracting both home grown and global stars from all over the world including Alice Cooper, Blondie, Iron Maiden and The Who.
Throughout his career Mark has also been a regular fixture on UK television, popping up on the BBC, ITV, Sky and E! Entertainment channels amongst others. As well as this he has also made a number of appearances in shows such as Piers Morgan’s hit documentary ‘Piers Morgan On...Dubai’, and the three-part BBC-commissioned documentary series Rock’n’Roll Hotel, which traced the development of the award-winning Sanctum Soho hotel. Mark Fuller is an instinctive entrepreneur, almost Bransonesque in style, with a phenomenal drive and a truly innovative future vision for the hotel/restaurant entertainment industry. In many respects his story has only just begun.
