Coming Back Stronger Episode 10 with Kris Gumbrell, CEO of Brewhouse and Kitchen

Kris is a very experienced operator who has had both a successful corporate, as well as more entrepreneurial career in hospitality.  We briefly touched on Kris’s early career but spent more time chewing the fat on a broad range of hospitality topics.  From EIS funding schemes and some great perspectives on why debt is quite often not the answer.  We also have a great conversation around hospitality as part of the rejuvenation and placemaking of towns and cities.  Quite often they are the vibrancy and life-blood an area needs as a catalyst for investment and regeneration, yet all too often with high rents and taxes such important businesses are often marginally viable.   Kris has some excellent and creative thoughts on rent negotiations and how thinking outside the box and looking for win win opportunities between two parties can often lead to some interesting solutions. Kris is also planning a slow and steady post Covid re-opening, testing and learning as he and the team go with some of their larger, more spacious garden venues. You can follow Kris on LinkedIn or find out more about Brewhouse and Kitchen.

#092 Kris Gumbrell - CEO Brewhouse and Kitchen

"That's what you've got to do as an entrepreneur. You've got to see what other people haven't seen sometimes. You won't get it right all the time but boy, when you get that punt right, it's just fantastic And it's the best feeling in the world when you can pull that off." I welcome Kris Gumbrell, co-founder of Brewhouse &amp; Kitchen, recently named best pub chain and best pub to work for at the Publican Awards. Kris is a fellow Cardiffian exiled to Bournemouth like myself. His brand is a really disruptive force in the pub industry and has come in like a breath of fresh air with 19 sites in the UK, 15 in the last 2 years alone. With 400 staff they are now the biggest brew chain in the UK and 2nd largest in Europe. With 300 different beers that are brewed onsite unique to each location, they have a brewing academy, hosted 8,000 brewing experience days and given 18,000 brewing masterclasses. We're in the pub - let's StartUp!
