INDEPENDENT brewer and pub company Hydes is celebrating a long serving and dedicated team member, Iain Craig, general manager of The Bull’s Head in Lymm.
Iain, who has managed the popular village pub for the past four years, has been with the company for 23 years.
Earlier this summer, The Bull’s Head underwent a £160,000 refurbishment as part of Hydes’ multi-million pound investment programme across its estate. The transformation has revitalised the pub’s interior, creating a contemporary yet traditional space that reflects its community roots, with Iain at the helm to ensure guests enjoy the very best in hospitality.
Over his two decades with Hydes, Iain has worked at and managed a number of pubs across the North West, earning a reputation for his hands-on leadership, commitment to quality and deep understanding of the communities he serves. At The Bull’s Head, he has introduced popular weekly events including live music, live sports screenings, team games and a Wednesday curry night in partnership with local favourite Naz’s Spice Lounge.
He said: “Hydes has been a huge part of my life for more than 20 years, and I’m incredibly proud to still be doing what I love. The Bull’s Head is a fantastic pub with a brilliant community, and the investment Hydes has made means we can continue to offer the warm, friendly and memorable experience that our customers expect. I’ve seen the pub industry change a lot over the years, but the heart of it has always been people, and that’s what keeps me passionate about this role.”
Adam Mayers, managing director of Hydes, added: “Iain is an outstanding general manager. Twenty three years of service in this industry is an exceptional achievement and testament to his skill, professionalism and commitment to his customers. The Bull’s Head is in great hands with Ian leading the team.”
