Like many Nick was drawn to hospitality at an early age, but has gone on to become a true titan of the industry with a number of successful operations in London, and Soho House & Co spanning the world. The Bruntwood NRB Debate provides a rare and exclusive opportunity to hear his thoughts on both the art and the business of hospitality, and with a first Northern club launching later this year the timing couldn’t be better. Why Manchester? Why now? Nick will reveal all.

Nick will be interviewed by Holden Media CEO Thom Hetherington (organisers of NRB).

Every kitchen team speaks multiple languages, every front of house team; an array of nationalities, sexualities and social circumstances. But can we say the same for the board room? Why does diversity diminish as we move towards management, what happens to the boardroom as they become whiter, more male, better educated in an industry famous at grass roots for its inclusivity?

We speak to Charlotte Kemp and Natalie Lea to hear about their experiences, and discuss the structural change required to create senior teams which reflect the true nature of the industry.

Chaired by hospitality, marketing and experience Consultant Lucy Noone Blake.
