Jonathan
CEO and Owner

We plucked Jon from London, where he was working in tech, and persuaded him that fuelling ambition was for him. Jon is a family man who rarely sits still, an obsessive fitness fanatic; regularly spotted on a spin bike, lifting weights, or doing both at the same time!
Along with Zoe, in 2023, he led a management buyout to become a proud owner of Paddy & Scott’s.
