Karen Jones returns to the pub sector
20 June 2006
Ex-Spirit Group chief executive Karen Jones is poised to re-enter the pub market with the purchase of five foodie pubs from Punch Taverns.
Jones left Spirit in January after Punch's £2.7b takeover by Punch, reportedly pocketing £15m.

Jones has dubbed her new company Food & Fuel and is working with Roger Myers, with whom she founded the Café Rouge chain. Several Spirit colleagues are part of the team, and Jones told the newspaper she planned to add two or three sites during the next year.
