northernrestaurantandbar.co.uk (small print) NRB19 is a strictly trade-only event and is for industry professionals only.
This year’s Bruntwood NRB Debate will be headlined by Chef and Restaurateur Jason Atherton. After gaining a Michelin star for his London restaurant Pollen Street Social in 2011, Jason’s interests now stretch from London to Dubai and from New York to Hong Kong, totalling seventeen restaurants in eight cities across three continents. Host Thom Hetherington explores what fired this Northern chef to global success.
The panel event, chaired by Lucy Noone-Blake, will discuss how brands and businesses build brand loyalty and ensure their share of the marketplace, how to bridge the gap between their online presence and driving actual footfall and whether social media really is the be all and end all.
The Bruntwood NRB Debate takes place alongside NRB19 on Tuesday 19 March. For tickets and more information visit:
