The Pepper Collective, the hospitality and leisure business that harnesses partnerships to create exciting new customer experiences, has today announced the appointment of Paul Fleming as Managing Director.
Fleming, who joins the business from marketing consultancy Salt where he was previously Commercial Director, will be responsible for driving forward the day to day operations and bringing Pepper’s exciting project pipeline to life in line with the company’s ambitious strategy to reignite the UK hospitality and leisure scene.
Feming's commercial experience ranges from West End theatres and music festivals to global beverage brands, and he brings to the business an unrivalled understanding of how to grow brands in challenging markets.
Andrew Fishwick, Group CEO, commented, “I have known, worked with, and admired Paul for years. His ability to drive large-scale projects with all of the diplomacy and skill required is second to none. I am so excited to bring him into our team and go on this exciting journey with him.”
Fleming said, “I am delighted to join The Pepper Collective and I’m looking forward to working with our team of energetic and dynamic hospitality professionals. There has never been a more important time for hospitality businesses to build meaningful partnerships, to share knowledge, resource and skills to create joyful experiences.”
In addition to Fleming, Pepper has also appointed Janelle Ladewig as General Counsel. Janelle, a qualified solicitor, brings extensive experience in commercial property, particularly the sale and acquisition of high worth businesses.
CEO Handley Amos added, “Working with Janelle in the past few months has made me realise there is no one better to help guide us as we grow The Pepper Collective. Her love of the industry as well as her passion for her clients makes her a perfect fit”
