‘I’ve been with GK since July 2017, starting out as a General Manager before becoming a BDM for Hungry Horse in September 2018. Before joining GK, I spent 10 years with JD Wetherspoon and time with Spirit Group, working across Lloyds Bars and new openings. I believe a great franchisee is someone who truly takes ownership of their business, becomes part of the community, and brings passion and ambition to everything they do. I like to work with partners by building strong, trusting relationships focused on growing the business together. Pubs have always been close to my heart—they’re the hub of the community and have played a huge part in shaping my life.’
