No1 Bruton and Merlin Labron Johnson

Aled Rees needed a bit of help with finding a catering partner to run his restaurant at his new hotel, No 1 Bruton. Our mutual friend, David Moore of Pied a Terre put us in contact and we met to discuss a few options. We the got into discussion with Merlin Labron Johnson, and the other potential operators fell into insignificance. Merlin was a clear first choice and the task for us was to find a mutually agreeable operating model.
It took a few meetings and great help from Graham Davies at Addition, but with little ado we got the deal done, and the venture launches in early November.
