I began my journey with ha ha as a Graduate and I’ve had the opportunity to work in some fantastic venues around the country such as Liverpool, London and most recently Manchester where I have been appointed as the new GM. It’s fantastic to work with a business that has so many people dedicated to delivering quality food and the highest standards of service with optimum support every step of the way. I see ha ha as a place of opportunity and hope to grow with it for many years to come.
