  West India Quay is a thriving part of London in the heart of the Docklands.There’s a real combination of history and modern architecture here and some amazing skyscrapers, 1, West India Quay is 111 metres high and has 33 floors.The Browns building was once a sugar warehouse, built in the early 19th century by Napoleonic prisoners of war. It has a truly distinctive atmosphere and a lovely seating area overlooking the dock.Here I manage a team of 45+ staff in a high volume food led business. Being in the heart of the finance district the business demands efficiency, speed of service and world class food. Show less The Browns building in Sheffield used to be the city’s Army & General Stores.Although we’re right in the city centre, it’s a beautifully tranquil spot that overlooks the Peace Gardens, an award winning public space with amazing water features and memorials.This is a 50/50 split wet/dry business. The business was split over 2 levels with the largest external seating area in Sheffield. This increased dining and drinking cover space from 240 to over 600. The business is seasonal which could see a sales increase of up to 70% during peak trading months. Show less During my 3 years, I worked in various roles covering 3 of the major northern sites within the brand. These included Manchester, Liverpool and Leeds. One of my proudest moments and most fufilling was supporting the launch of Browns Brasserie & Bar, Liverpool in 2013. Since opening the business has become one of the top performing sites in the brand.My time in Leeds was incredible. This is a flagship site for the brand, being one of the highest revenue sites within the brand and delivering an average of over 2500 meals per week. Here I supported the management of a team of over 50 employees. This business sits right in the heart of Leeds city centre and is known for its incredible building facing the town hall. Show less
