Jill Matthews, Head of Operations at The Coaching Inn Group, has been promoted to Operations Director and invited to join the board as the Group ramps up its expansion plans.
Jill, who has over 20 years’ food and beverage experience joined the Group last year from regional brewer SA Brain & Co, and has been an integral part of the company’s expansion programme, which has already seen them acquire three new properties this year.
Jill said: “I’m honoured to be asked to join the board of The Coaching Inn Group. Over the past year my role has grown as the company continues to expand its estate and with a target of three further acquisitions later this year, joining the board gives me a great opportunity to work with the team to deliver on their ambitious growth plans and use my experience to ensure we continue to deliver a consistently high quality customer experience.”
The Coaching Inn Group has 12 historic venues across the UK and has built a strong reputation in the industry for transforming high quality coaching inns through the introduction of its premium casual dining brand, the Eatery and Coffee House. As part of its £20 million expansion programme the Group remains on track to reach 15 sites before the end of the year.
