Our Leader of the Year Goes to… Luke at the Spread Eagle

At Almond Family Pubs, we love to give gratitude where it is deserved and this year at our annual Staff party we did just that.
There were many internal awards throughout the pubs such as Chef of the Year (which went to our Lovely chefs Lois & Rob) and Bartender of the Year (which went to everyone’s favourite, Teigan), but perhaps the most prestigious award of the night was the highly anticipated Leader of the Year Award. This was a ‘People’s Choice’ award, voted by staff members throughout the pubs. This year it went to Luke Finnigan, with 41.3% of his team’s vote.

Joining the Almond family in 2017, Luke is a well-loved member of the team and a staple at the Spread Eagle, which is evident from the lovely comments his team gave him…

For his management skills in delegating, the workload to members of the staff who are most appropriate,
Allowing staff to build on them skills within the company. Always being an approachable. When staff need a problem solving Luke is always reachable, whether in work or away. Dedication to work environment, always looking at improvements and ideas that he can put forward. (Probably the best, Manager I have worked for throughout my 35 years working life)

We’re so pleased to see Luke get the recognition he deserves. Well done Luke!
