Keith Prowse Through The Ages

Last year we launched Keith Prowse's new look. While we're always looking to the future and our next experience, we also can't help occasionally looking to the past. Where did Keith Prowse start and how far has it come? We've gone right back to the beginning  - and to do this, wound the clocks back a few hundred years!

In 1830, a musical composer named Robert William Keith partnered up with a music publisher, William Prowse to form a theatre ticketing business originally named Keith, Prowse & Co. The pioneering company booked and held the best theatre seats for their clients so that they had the best experience with the least hassle.

From the very beginning, Keith Prowse were at the forefront of innovation and were one of the first companies to have a telephone installed. In 1911, the company opened the World’s first flight ticket booking office and, after a stint in music publishing, Keith Prowse branched out to focus on hospitality. Take a look below and a timeline of the Keith Prowse history and landmark moments for the company. 

And the rest, as they say, is history. Over the next 50 years, Keith Prowse has continuously pushed the boundaries of hospitality and made your customer experience that extra bit special. With official appointments from the biggest sporting venues in the UK, it’s easy to see why we’re known as the market leaders in hospitality. And what's more, your hospitality experience is only a few clicks away now with the brand new basket and checkout function. 

So here's to the next 100 hundred years - a toast to Mr. Keith and Mr. Prowse!
