Overview
Barnard Watson - the inventor of WhatsApp (sort of). Sent a bloody great message to the last of the 13 stations, incredibly all the way from the Kent coast right to our doorstep. Watson’s General Telegraph has been named in his honour. A huge 20 beer tap wall, huge all-weather garden, live music, a vinyl only DJ policy and great food would be sure to flag down the great man as he passed. If craft beer, delicious home-made food & music are your things, maybe you want to be running the show. We’re looking for a General Manager, who has experience in running a busy pub/restaurant and a track record of growing sales both wet and dry. Company Laine’s is one of the most progressive pub companies in the country, with a commitment to creating sites that are more than just a place to buy a pint. Our pubs are filled with culture, from events like live music, circus shows, and comedy, to original art and great food and drinks, including beers made in our own breweries. Most importantly they’re filled with passionate intelligent young people looking for a place to connect with. We work with the people that run our pubs – our Management Partners – in a way that encourages autonomy and creativity. We’re interested in giving them the chance to put their own stamp and personality on the site. That comes with a huge amount of support, from a dedicated operations manager, sales and marketing team, and people to fix problems and give advice as often as they need it. As we say, “Everyone who works in Laine’s who doesn’t serve the beer are there to support those who do.” Our current Management Partners have produced some incredibly successful and innovative creations, such as games rooms, craft rooms, breweries and mini golf. We take pride in being a pub group that offer sites that are as different from each other as they are from the average boozer. Package Negotiable upon experience. After following a 12 week induction process, you will be expected to run your own business within the Laine Pub Company group, meaning that you benefit directly from your own success. Candidate If you are creative, energetic, organised, business minded and you love London and Brighton, then perhaps you should be running one of these city’s premier venues. We could talk here about at least two years’ experience in a managerial/supervisory position, and yeah, that’s important, but just as crucial is that you are interesting and interested. A love of music, or perhaps a passion for art and design – it’s the appetite for sharing new things with your customers that we’re after. You’ll need to be creative, innovative and unwilling to let any detail go unchecked. Social media? Yeah, you’ll love that and know your way around Twitter and Instagram. You’ll have a desire to embrace the freedom that we give all our managers to put their own stamp on the pubs they run.
