Peach Pub founders to speak at Arena Lunch in September

Peach Pub Company co-founders Hamish Stoddart and Lee Cash will take centre stage at the networking association Arena Lunch this September to discuss the rise and success of their company.

The pub company, launched seven years ago, has continued to expand despite the recession, securing an 11th site in May for its second Almanack pub in Leicester, due to open this October.

Stoddart and Cash have ambitions to extend Peach beyond its predominant Midlands base to more than 20 sites, ranging from Manchester and London to the south-coast.

In April, Peach struck a deal with landlord Punch Taverns to buy the freeholds for its first pub, the Rose & Crown in Warwick, and the Swan in Salford, Milton Keynes.

The company, which appointed its first operation director Paul Cutsforth earlier this year, is backed by the Royal Bank of Scotland.

Stoddart and Cash will be speaking at the Arena Lunch on Friday 25 September at the Jumeirah Carlton Tower Hotel, London.
