Broad added: “I’m delighted by this suite of new appointments across both of our pubs and we are thrilled to welcome Matt, Callum and Paul to the company. I’d also like to congratulate Jack on his new position, which is thoroughly deserved and will further strengthen our ability to deliver excellent customer service time and time again.”
