Hi! I'm Marcus
Marcus has been part of the Wells & Co. family for around 4 years, after he graduated from Northampton University with a degree in Graphic Design. Marcus has an unhealthy addiction to pizza & his preferred beer style is American Pale Ale (Appalachian IPA was his favourite) although is happy to try anything new & exciting!
Hi! I'm Rachel
I have worked for Wells & Co since April 2016 having previously worked for the Probation Service for nearly 14 years. I primarily deal with licensing and leases and am currently one of our Values Champions (Everyone Counts guys!). I love working here because we have great staff and amazing pubs, and I am so excited for Brewpoint that I drive my friends and family crazy talking about it all the time!
Hi! I'm Tom
Tom is our Head of Retail Sales & Marketing and has been with Wells & Co. for over 10 years. Starting as a Graduate Trainee he moved onto Head of Department and to now what he is today. Tom functions on 21 hours (average) sleep a week & his preferred beer style is Pale Ale, although has been known to like a Sour!
Hi! I'm Louisa
Louisa joined the Wells family in 2018 as our Recruitment Manager to ensure we have the right resources and talent in the business to support our ambitious growth plans. Forever on the look out for great people, she is effectively tinder - for jobs!
Hi! I'm Josh
Josh manages The Playwright in Nottingham, a town centre hot spot with both students and shoppers.
Hi! I'm Niki
Niki has been at Wells & Co for 4 years and joined to help shape the business to support its Managed House growth, with a real focus on driving an energetic and fast paced fun environment for all our teams to excel in. You’ll also find Niki taking part in Triathlons, walking her very energetic spaniel Oakley and eating!
Hi! I'm Emil
I'm Emil and I work FOH at The Radcliffe. I do have to say I've got a little obsession with coffee, but what can you do? One of the things I love about this place are the people you connect with & the people you work with.
Hi! I'm Beth
Beth has been part of the Wells & Co Family for 4 years. She is an experienced HR professional with skills focused in ER, training, career development and reward and recognition. As a Mental Health First Aider, she's keen to promote self-care. When she's not day dreaming about our mac and cheese, you'll see her around making sure our people are looked after!
Hi! I'm Philippa
Aka Pip, has been with the company for 31 years, and has worked her way around a lot of the departments within the business - currently working as a Retail Developement Executive. Anyone who knows her will be aware that she is particularly partial to a New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc, or two!
Hi! I'm Chris
Chris has been with Wells & Co for just over 4 years, he has been in the hospitality industry for over 37 years, lived in Bedfordshire for the last 22 years and for a number of years wanted to join Wells & Co - a traditional family company that is proud of its heritage and also keen to embrace the change. He loves steaks and good quality Cask Ale, Champagne and Red wine!
Hi! I'm Craig
Hi! I'm Chelsea
My job is to lead the team whom are the ‘hub’ and the go to guys for bookings, event enquiries and customer queries for all our managed pubs. Our portfolio of sites is constantly growing!
Wells & Co is a fantastic company to work for especially at such an exciting time for the company. The fast pace environment and the fab people I work with truly make it the best job!
Hi! I'm Ros
Ros joined us in 2001 and has enjoyed a variety of roles. Now a qualified Project Manager Ros helps deliver key strategic projects and identify process improvements across the business. In her spare time she can be found enjoying a bite to eat at The Bull in Olney and acting as quality control for any new gin listings!
Hi! I'm Shaun
Part of the RDM team for our Pub Partners
Hi! I'm Jess
Jess is part of our passionate team within Little Gem's that simply serve up quality food and drinks and provide our locals and out-of-town guest a place to dine, drink, sleep and relax.
Hi! I'm Nick
Nick has been part of the Wells & Co family all his life, but he’s actually worked here for around 6 years. In a previous life Nick qualified as a Chartered Surveyor. He graduated with a Masters from the Royal Agricultural Collage in 2009. Being a country bumpkin, and much like a Labrador, Nick enjoys nothing more than being outdoors, whatever the weather - so long as there’s a good pint of ale by a roaring fire to look forward to of course.
Hi! I'm James
James has joined the BREWPOINT brew crew as our Lead Brewer and he’s flown in all the way from down under. For the last few years Jimmy has worked at numerous breweries for Australia’s biggest brewer – and now has the fun task of brewing at Bedford’s freshest brewery.
Hi! I'm Gurvinder
I have been with Wells & Co just over 12 years and I cannot believe where the time has gone. Being in the drinks industry I am either placing orders for our pubs, getting their delivery’s on time or even having the horrible task of tasting new wines & Beers!
I love working with people who are equally as passionate about the business and thrive on providing the best possible level of service.
In my spare time if I am not watching football you will find me drinking one our beers at one of our finest establishments.
