Background

About John Hoe

I’m an experienced hospitality leader with a proven track record of growing and transforming pub estates into high-performing businesses. As Operations Director for Brew York’s managed estate, I’ve taken us from 3 venues to 9, delivering £5m in turnover and £0.5m EBITDA while strengthening our brands and guest experience. My focus is on combining strong commercial management with a people-first approach. I’ve introduced standard operating procedures across multiple sites, built engaged teams, and ensured every pub delivers consistently high standards. At the same time, I’ve overseen the rollout of three distinctive brand styles — Brew York Tap Rooms, Brew + Bao, and Pubs with Character — helping us stand out in a competitive market. I thrive in roles where I can scale businesses, develop talent, and shape guest-centric operations. Whether it’s launching new venues, driving efficiency, or creating memorable experiences that keep people coming back, I bring energy, structure, and a results-driven mindset.
