Hospitality operator Big Penny Social has made some key people changes, as the bar and venue prepares for future growth. 

Adam Walker (pictured), formerly of Bounce, Lucky Voice and Albion & East, has joined the company's leadership team as head of sales. 

Elsewhere, Frank Maguire has transitioned from head of marketing into a new head of commercial role and will lead the group's commercial performance, growth strategy and business development. A recruitment process is underway to recruit for the head of brand and marketing role he previously held.

A unique venue

Home of the National Burger Awards, Big Penny Social in Walthamstow is a unique venue concept combining hospitality, entertainment and events. 

A recent multi-million-pound investment raise has been completed and will be used to unlock future growth at the site, increasing capacity from 1,400 across three spaces to over 2,000 people in time for the summer party season.

It averages over 6,000 visitors a week and generates annual sales of over £4m.

The brand was born in September 2022, following the sale of the Truman’s Beer trademark, when flagship venue Truman’s Social Club in Blackhorse Lane, Walthamstow, became Big Penny Social. The company also operates Big Penny Brews in London City Airport.
