FWB Advises Manchester based Hydes Brewery on the appointment of Peter Borg-Neal as Chairman

Continuing its expansion into the North-West, FWB is delighted to have advised family-controlled brewing & hospitality business Hydes Brewery on the appointment of Peter Borg-Neal as Chairman, strengthening its Board as the independent family-owned brewer continues to invest in its long-term growth strategy.

Peter brings more than 40 years of leadership experience across the hospitality sector. During his career, he founded Oakman Inns, developing the business into a successful premium pub group with more than 30 locations across England.

He also held senior leadership positions with Whitbread and Allied Domecq Retailing, building extensive experience in commercial leadership, organisational change and business growth.

As Chairman, Peter will work closely with the Board and executive leadership team to support Hydes’ strategic direction, helping the business build on its strong heritage while continuing to evolve in a changing hospitality market.

FWB Managing Director, Jamie Brown, who advised on the appointment said:

“It has been a privilege to support the family and Board on this important appointment. Hydes is a brand and business which most in the North-West will have engaged with as patrons over the year, and synonymous with the area. Peter brings a wealth of hospitality leadership experience alongside a collaborative style that we believe will complement the business well. His appointment reflects Hydes’ ambition to build on its proud heritage while continuing to evolve for the future, and we wish Peter and the team every success.”
