Our journey, our passion, our story

My journey into hospitality began at the age of 14, working as a kitchen porter. From those early days, I knew the pub industry was for me. I worked my way up, gaining experience as bar staff, supervisor, shift manager, and eventually general manager. This hands-on experience in various temporary pub roles made me realise there was a significant gap in the market. I saw an opportunity to help other companies succeed and to bring struggling pubs back to life, fostering vibrant community spaces once more.

At SC Leisure Limited, our dream extends beyond simply operating pubs. Our vision is to revive community locals, protect the future of traditional pubs, and create venues that people are proud to call their own. We believe every pub has the potential to become the heart of its community again – a place filled with life, conversation, entertainment, good food, and lasting memories. Too many pubs across the UK have been left struggling, underinvested, or forgotten. Our mission is to change that. By combining strong hospitality leadership, modern ideas, and traditional pub values, we aim to transform pubs into thriving destinations that serve local communities for years to come. By the end of 2026, we aim to have a portfolio of around 15 pubs operating under the SC Leisure Limited umbrella.
