TLC Inns, the award-winning multi-site pub company with three Enterprise leases and two freeholds, has recruited a long-serving Enterprise Inns regional manager to become its first operations manager.
The company, run by husband-and-wife team Steve Haslam and Jo Drain, has recruited Russell Dawson, an Enterprise senior regional manager with ten years’ experience at the company.
Dawson will take over day-to-day responsibility for overseeing the company’s pubs.
TLC Inns was founded with three Enterprise Inns leases. In the past 18 months or so it has added two freeholds bought from Punch Taverns - the Henny Swan, near Sudbury, Suffolk, and the Catherine Wheel in Albury, near Ware, Hertfordshire, acquired off an asking price of £600,000.
TLC Inns had no fewer than four pubs in the finals of the Great British Pub Awards a fortnight ago.
Haslam said: “This key appointment will allow us to devote more time to the development of the business - we are looking at a number of options.”
Haslam was also voted Best Individual at last year’s MA250 awards for multi-site companies.
