Dan Robinson, newly appointed Managing Director of Greene King Pub Partners, said:
“It is a real privilege to be appointed Managing Director of Greene King Pub Partners. Having worked in operational and leadership roles across the Greene King business over the last seven years, I have long been an admirer of the team and the brilliant Partners we work with. I cannot wait to get started and help our Partners continue to grow their pub businesses with the support of our great team.”
Wayne Shurvinton, Managing Director, Partnerships & Ventures at Greene King, said:
