Roxy Leisure, the UK based entertainment venue operator, has announced the appointment of a new managing director.
Ben Warren returns to the company where he was previously operations manager after spending five years as the managing director at Concept Taverns.
Roxy says that Warren is set to grow the strong culture within its brand and that he will assist the growth of Roxy sites around the country.
It currently has 14 sites in the UK, but plans to grow that to 20 in 2023 and to 26 in 2024.
Roxy Leisure was founded by brothers Matthew and Ben Jones in 2013 and describes itself as “professionals at play who bring the playground to the bar - for people who want to embrace their playful side, with a huge variety of games, an amazing bar and massive rock and indie tunes.”
Commenting on his appointment, Warren said: “I am thrilled to be joining Roxy Leisure as their managing director. I have been familiar with the brand for a long time after serving as its operations manager from 2013 to 2017 and I’m a big fan of their concept. We’re set for a very busy 2023 and I’m excited to be jumping straight in.”
CEO Matthew Jones added: “We’re thrilled to be welcoming Ben back to the Roxy Leisure family as our managing director. Ben is bringing a wealth of experience and enthusiasm to the role as well as plenty of passion for the hugely successful Roxy brand. With a busy year ahead with six openings planned, we’re excited to get stuck in with Ben and work on growing Roxy Leisure even further.”
