We have now completed our first and second round interviews for the Pub Manager, which we held at the end of January/beginning of February. We had industry support at both interview stages, firstly with Greg Mangham, Consultant and Chair of The British Institute of Innkeeping (London), along with Ashley Bent owner of The Bell in Tanworth-in-Arden.

We have now successfully identified a suitable candidate with many years’ experience within the industry and who has a real enthusiasm to be part of our community. We are now finalising all the necessary paperwork and once this has been completed, we will provide you all with more information about our new Pub Manager and his vision alongside the Committee for The New Inn – a really exciting step forward for The New Inn!

Thank you to everyone who applied for the Management Committee Assistant role.

We are thrilled to announce that Jenny Bendall has been appointed as our Management Committee Assistant. With her experience working alongside the Parish Council and many years’ experience with administrative roles, she provides all of the expertise to itemise all meeting minutes and keep the Committee working in a structured way.
