Ex-Living Ventures director set to launch £1m restaurant

FORMER Living Ventures director Danny Fox launches his new restaurant Fox in Hale Barns today (Thursday September 8) following an investment of £1m.

Commercial law firm Kuits has advised his umbrella company, The FOX Restaurant Group on the opening.

The 4,000sq fit development will seat 120 customers, concentrating on serving grilled meats and fish from an open grill, alongside pizzas from a wood burning oven.

The establishment will be the only restaurant in new retail development, The Square, in Hale Barns.

Fox was operations director at Living Ventures for a decade before moving to Individual Restaurant Company and eventually setting up on his own.

Kuits, which is the only top ranking firm in Legal 500 in the North West for licensing, advised Fox and his team on the licensing arrangements for Fox. Tony Lyons, head of licensing for Kuits, led the transaction.

Lyons said: “Having known and worked with Danny for a number of years in his previous roles, it was great to be able to help him set up on his own. I know this is a project that he’s been envisioning for a long time, so we’re delighted to have helped make this a reality.

“The team and I are looking forward to seeing the finished article on Thursday and we wish him the best of luck.”
