This August marks an incredible milestone — it’s been 35 years since we opened the very first casual dining restaurant in a UK airport. I was there on day one, and it has been one of the greatest privileges of my life to watch this business grow into what it is today – the leading hospitality company across all major UK airports.

Back then, we started with a single restaurant and around 45 passionate team members. Fast forward to today, and we’ve created nearly 3,000 jobs and we create hundreds more every year, giving thousands of people the opportunity to grow and develop into future leaders in both our business and the wider hospitality sector. 
We now serve over 20 million guests a year and behind every one of those guests is an interaction; a smile, a plate of food, a cup of coffee, a cold drink – a moment of connection, all delivered with pride by our incredible teams.

Looking back, I feel immense pride. But looking forward I feel even more excitement. 
We’ve achieved so much, but I truly believe the best is yet to come.
