Off the back of North Bar/North Brewing Co’s recent win at the 2021 Publican Awards, The Morning Advertiser caught up (virtually of course) with head of retail Fiona Potts just before the company opened its latest venue for outdoor trading.
Potts started her career in hospitality working behind the bar at weekends, as a second job. A path that led her to where she is today.
"I had started nursing and then went into a PA course and at the weekends wanted to do a bar job," she says.
“There was a place in Leeds called Town House, which was brilliant. It was a massive old building, three floors and I loved it but wanted to continue doing my PA side.
