‘I’ve been with Greene King for a number of years, moving from the Brewing & Brands team into Franchise at the start of 2026. Before that, I spent seven years as a BDM with Ei Group and previously managed Greene King’s free trade route to market across North and East Kent. I believe great franchisees truly own their business, drive growth, and become part of their community. I focus on open, honest, and collaborative partnerships to help achieve shared goals. I love pubs because they sit at the heart of British life—bringing people together, celebrating milestones, and creating vibrant community spaces.’
