In 2009, The Ignite Group opened its third

Eclipse bar in Barcelona’s W Hotel, shortly

followed by the opened of the Wyld bar at the

W Hotel in London’s Leicester Square.

In 2012, the group left its mark on Asia with

the opening the highly-anticipated Boujis Hong

Kong. Eclipse Istanbul followed in December

2015, finding its place atop the luxury hotel ‘Le

Meridien Etiler.’

The Ignite Group was founded in 1998 by

‘Restaurateur of the Year’ Matt Hermer and

planted its roots with the opening of the

original Eclipse bar in Chelsea, London. The

Ignite Group is now home to some of the most

popular A-list hotspots in London, including

the legendary Boujis nightclub.

In 2006 Notting Hill saw the opening of the

first Bumpkin restaurant, which prides itself

on continually winning praise from many of

the world’s most respected food critics and

OUR HISTORY

Founder and Chief Executive of The Ignite

Group, Matt Hermer continues to set the

strategic direction for the company’s marketing,

PR and international growth.

After eight years working as an investment

banker in the City, 26 year-old Matt bought

his favourite bar on a whim, renamed it ‘Eclipse’

and transformed it into a highly successful

venue, helping to spearhead the revolution

in London’s fading cocktail culture.

After opening another Eclipse bar, Matt

realised that his clientele wanted to continue

partying the night away without relocating

to the West End of London. This revelation

inspired him to open Boujis, a boutique

nightclub in South Kensington, which is now a

huge success and boasts a high-profile clientele

of A-list celebrities and aristocracy alike.

In 2006 Matt’s passion for food and wine led to

the opening of the first Bumpkin restaurant in

Notting Hill, which won rave reviews and praise

for its commitment to sustainable, seasonal

British produce.
