London based craft beer pub group Draft House has acquired its sixth site which is to open at the end of June.
The company has already begun work on the site, a former Novus Leisure site located on Seething Lane, London EC4. It is the largest site yet for the company.
Draft House, which is privately owned by founder Charlie McVeigh, has also announced the appointment of Richard Peachment as operations director for the group. Peachment began his career at Ed’s Easy Diner, and spent seven years at TGI Friday’s before joining JD Wetherspoon as catering operations manager in 2004. After moving into area management, he became senior area manager in 2010.
McVeigh said: “Draft House Seething is just across the river from our most successful site on Tower Bridge Road (pictured), so when this came up we jumped at the opportunity. We look forward to serving the local shipping and insurance communities as well as a goodly portion of the 1.4 million annual visitors to the Tower of London.”
