General Manager

The Manchester, Blackpool

£30,000 - £35,000 p.a. - Live out

An exciting vacancy has arisen at Blackpool’s Promenade’s biggest and best party venue! Famous throughout the UK this is a once in a lifetime opportunity to work in one of Blackpool’s most iconic venues.

The Manchester is heavily tourist driven and very seasonal and we are looking for a versatile operator to drive the business forward, maximise sales during the summer months and control the bottom line in the winter.

The site is due for a £150k investment before the 2019 season and this presents a real opportunity to take the business to the next level. The site is literally two very distinct venues, both famous in their own rights, with sports viewing being a key driver across both. The Family Bar on the first floor has a free children’s play area and ball pond and very strong food sales, peaking at £12k in half term. The ground floor bar is a full on nightclub that trades in the day as well as the night, there are four big screens for great atmospheric sports viewing and the site is designed to cater for large single sex groups from all over the country looking to party all weekend and is like nowhere else you will have ever seen.

The Manchester is famous nationwide for its unbeatable atmosphere for away supporters joining in the all day party! The site also benefits from a large beer garden with views across the Irish sea and down the Blackpool promenade and a “all of its sights”

The successful applicant will have experience managing sport, high volume food and a high energy atmosphere. Developing and engaging a winning team is essential. The ability to react to both seasonality and local events is a must, as is building strong relationships with the Authorities. If you have an adverse reaction to fancy dress, inflatable “novelty” toys, partying by day and night then this may not be the site for you. If you are up for working in a lively fun environment with a serious side to, then we want to hear from you. This site may not be suitable for first a first time appointment, but if you feel you are the exception remember that we are looking for exceptional people!

Stonegate Pub Company can offer you a career that’s fast moving, ever changing, guaranteed to be challenging each and every day and never, ever dull!

Passionate, fun, entrepreneurial, driven to be the best, obsessed with delivering service and standards? Does that sound like you? Well, if so, read on as we might have just the job for you.
