Business Development Manager

‘I have worked in hospitality and pubs for most of my life across a range of roles, including waitressing, management, auditing, cellar services and most recently as a Business Development Manager supporting our franchise partners. I believe my extensive experience working in pubs enables me to really understand the needs of my partners and support them, whatever or however they need. For me, great partnerships start with transparency and openness on both sides and I enjoy working with operators who put the community they serve at the heart of their pubs. After all, nothing beats the buzz of a great community local!’
