Geoff will speak about the key milestones in the company’s 37 year history, its exciting plans for the future and the current challenges facing the pub and brewing industry.

A former corporate banker who specialised in the licensed trade sector, Geoff set up his own business in 2007 and joined the Castle Rock Brewery board in 2008 before becoming Chairman in 2012. Geoff is also on the board of several other leisure businesses.

Dianne Allen, president of the Nottingham City Business Club, said: “it will be great to hear from Geoff at the lunch because he represents not only a highly successful brand, but more importantly one that really puts Nottingham on the map. We’re set to have a fantastic event and I look forward to welcoming everyone”
