AUDIENCE WITH: WILL BECKETT – Building a £100m Brand Without Selling Your Soul
Location: Knightsbridge, London
Time: From 6:00pm to 9:30pm
We’re delighted to welcome Will Beckett, co-founder of the renowned Hawksmoor restaurant group, to our An Audience with series, proudly presented in partnership with our corporate partners, Global Telecomms Network. From launching a single steakhouse in Spitalfields to building one of the UK’s most admired hospitality brands, Will’s story is one of purpose, perseverance, and people-first leadership.
Alongside his long-time business partner Huw Gott, Will opened the first Hawksmoor in 2006 with a mission to serve the best steaks in London, without pretension, just great food, warm service, and a genuine care for customers and staff alike. Nearly two decades later, Hawksmoor is an internationally acclaimed name, with restaurants across the UK, Ireland, and the US, and a reputation for doing things differently.
Under Will’s leadership, Hawksmoor has set new standards in ethical sourcing, employee wellbeing, and sustainable business practices, becoming the first UK restaurant group to achieve B Corp status. The business also attracted the backing of private equity firm Graphite Capital, which has supported Hawksmoor’s expansion while Will and Huw have remained at the helm, committed to their founding values.
Join us for an evening of honest conversation as Will shares the highs and lows of building a restaurant empire, what he’s learned about leadership, and why doing the right thing can also be good business. Expect thought-provoking discussion, fresh perspectives, and the opportunity to connect with other members over drinks, ideas, and ambition.
Don’t miss this exclusive opportunity to hear from one of the UK’s most visionary and values-driven entrepreneurs.
