On the move: the latest East Midlands hires

Global High Growth has expanded its team for the second time this year, with Tim Sutton joining the business coaching service.

Sutton joins as a non-executive director and personal one-to-one coach and mentor.

Founder of Global High Growth, Stuart Ross, said: “Tim is incredibly experienced in business coaching, with a strong background in providing effective mentoring and growth strategies for businesses. He is an excellent addition to the Global High Growth team.”

A former director of Geest, Sutton has held several senior positions in high-turnover companies and provided mentoring and non-executive director roles to numerous high growth businesses, such as Frank Dales Foods. He was also part of the Business Growth Service.

He said: “Global High Growth has an enviable reputation for business coaching, and one I certainly aim to improve. I look forward to working alongside Stuart and getting excellent results for the businesses we work with.”

Chef Ian Martin has returned to his roots in Nottingham and is back in the kitchen he helped to establish more than 12 years ago when he became the first head chef at the Orange Tree pub in the city.

Martin has once again taken charge in the kitchen of the popular bar after returning to the city following a spell working abroad.

It’s a venue he knows well. He spent four years there as head chef when the pub opened in 2003.

He said: “It’s great to be back running the kitchen where I was the original head chef when it first launched back in 2003. It was very satisfying to be the launch chef and help to build up the good reputation for food that the Orange tree still has today.

“There’s been a lot of change in Nottingham in that time. There’s much more choice for eating and a much stronger presence from the chains, but there are fewer strong independent pubs, like the Orange tree, in my view.”
