Listen "S9: Turning past failures into future success, with Will Beckett, co-founder of Hawksmoor"
Episode Synopsis
Hawksmoor is a restaurant built on strong values but how do you experience fast growth and retain those values as you scale?
Described by critics and customers alike as world-class and the best in London, Hawksmoor was founded in 2006 by Will Beckett and Huw Gott with the brilliant philosophy that steak isn’t a dish, it’s an institution!
Right from the start their vision was to offer a superior dining experience in beautifully relaxed surroundings and how an obsessive eye for detail and commitment to their core values has helped build an ethical brand to be truly proud of.
In this episode we discuss building a strong company culture that allows the individuals to shine, the rocky path to success as well as the vital ingredient to any brand - detail!
