Background

About Gavin Smith

I am passionate about the hospitality industry and driven to help people and businesses unlock their full potential. From the kitchen to the boardroom, every chapter of my career has been about food, drink, and building meaningful relationships. I have many years’ experience opening and operating award-winning restaurant brands and as CEO I have a clear mission:* Grow brands successfully, sustainably, and profitably.* Build emotionally intelligent, high-performing teams.* Create aspirational and fun environments where people can build long-term, fulfilling careers in hospitality.* Deliver sustainable shareholder value. My leadership style is rooted in coaching, empowering teams to deliver exceptional guest experiences and outstanding commercial results in a fun, positive culture. I believe that when people thrive, brands flourish, and everyone shares in the success. For me, there is nothing more rewarding than guiding a great brand’s journey — ensuring it grows in value, reputation, and impact while learning and improving every single day.
