Serial sector investor Luke Johnson has joined the board of contract caterer Harbour & Jones as a nonn-executive director.

The chairman of Risk Capital Partners and former Channel 4 chairman took up his post of non-executive director on 1 June.

Johnson, who also owns a majority stake in foodservice operator the Genuine Dining Co, is also the part-owner and chairman of Patisserie Valerie, Gail’s Artisan Bakery and Feng Sushi.

Harbour & Jones owner-directors Patrick Harbour and Nathan Jones said: “Next year we’ll be celebrating a fantastic first 10 years of business and with the help of Luke we look forward to making the next 10 years even stronger.”

Johnson said: “It is great to be working with two hospitality pioneers like Patrick and Nathan. I met them when I chaired the RSA and I saw first-hand how they are able to transform the food and drink offering for an institution. I hope over time to help make their already highly professional organisation even more successful.”
