Jim Owthwaite

Business Development Manager

‘I have worked for 35 years in the licensed trade across managed, leased and tenanted pubs. I also previously ran by own franchise and so understand the challenges of running your own business. I like to work with my leased and tenanted partners as a ‘critical friend’ – someone there to support you but also be honest with you and give you the best advice possible. I believe pubs are the back bone of our communities and enjoy working with partners who share my passion for great customer care and hospitality.’
