About Us
At Shaken & Co, we are proud to take the reins of a business that has been built over the past five years by the talented and dedicated Maria and Dan. Their hard work and passion for delivering exceptional mobile bar services laid the perfect foundation, and now we’re here to bring our own experience and energy to the next chapter.
With 26 years of experience in the hospitality and events industry, including owning and managing The Hi Ho Club, I bring a wealth of knowledge, passion, and a commitment to excellence. Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of working with some of the region’s best mixologists, who are now part of our talented team at Shaken & Co. Together, we are dedicated to delivering exceptional mobile bar experiences that are tailored to your unique event.
Our mission is simple: to provide a professional, personalised, and unforgettable drinks experience for every occasion. Whether it's a wedding, private party, or corporate event, we specialize in crafting expertly mixed cocktails, offering premium service, and creating an atmosphere that your guests will remember long after the event is over.
Based in York and servicing clients across the UK, we are ready to bring our expertise, passion, and creative flair to your event. At Shaken & Co, we don't just serve drinks — we create memorable moments.
Charlie Hudson - Managing Director
Where to start with Charlie Hudson? With a wealth of knowledge in hospitality and a passion for creating unforgettable experiences, Charlie has spent over 15 years managing some of the most iconic sites for Mitchells and Butler, honing her skills in the heart of the hospitality industry.
Her career has taken her beyond the traditional realms of hospitality, managing high-profile events and looking after major music artists such as Nile Rodgers & Chic, Rag'n'Bone Man, Bastille, Kaiser Chiefs, The Wailers, and many more. This experience has allowed her to understand the importance of creating both seamless service and memorable moments for every guest.
Charlie now brings her expertise and energy to her own passion project, The Hi Ho Club – a secret speakeasy tucked away in the heart of York. Her vision is clear: to build an empire, inspire her team to always be their best, and create opportunities for others that she herself once wished for.
Now, with Shaken & Co, Charlie is more excited than ever to bring her skills to your event, ensuring that it’s not just special, but extraordinary. Whether it’s a wedding, corporate gathering, or private party, she is dedicated to delivering an experience that leaves a lasting impression.
