This week M&C takes five minutes with Keith Bott, managing director of Titanic Brewery, about his love for breakfast, why he is concerned about unintended consequences and the why alcoholic custard could be the future
What’s your main business priority for the coming year?
Growth in the on-trade, off-trade and across our own retail estate
What is the best marketing campaign you have seen in the past 12 months?
I have really been impressed with the “There’s a beer for that” campaign. Interesting, clever, multi-media and well thought through!
Where did you have your best meal over the past year?
I am a huge lover of breakfast so would have to say the Old Poets Corner in Ashover, Derbyshire. The breakfast is spectacular.
Which business in the sector provides the best experience?
I think of the all the multi-site pub operators, Young’s do a fantastic job.
What is your main concern for the sector?
The unintended consequences of legislative interference.
Which other business (any sector) would you most like to run and why?
I think Advocaat is the most underrated of drinks so it would be great fun to take a brand like De Kuyper and work out a way to shed the eggy image. Alcoholic custard could be the future!
