Re-opening a club that was closed for 12 months. Basically, building a brand new business from the ground up.

Developing a cultural change from old bowling club to a vibrant community-oriented club with a focus on food, entertainment, families and community inclusion.

  1. Is there a piece of advice or something compelling you have learnt that you can pass on to our readers and up and coming managers?

You have to have a fair bit of entrepreneur in you, always think outside the square.
