General Manager

We have an amazing opportunity for a driven, high performing General Manager to run one of Harvester's iconic restaurants

The Sovereign Harbour, Eastbourne BN23 5UZ
SALARY: Up to £50,000 plus bonus

The Sovereign Harbour is a stunning business situated, as its name suggests, in a harbour! One of the highest contributors to EBITDA within Harvester, this is a business that is in very good shape after a hugely successful summer. It presents career opportunity due to its turnover and size and would therefore suit an existing General Manager with their eyes on a career onwards and upwards within Mitchells and Butlers. Candidates who apply should ideally have experience of managing seasonal businesses , they should definitely have managed large teams and be very focused on team development and have industry leading standards. This is an absolute gem of a business for the right individual.
