General Manager Designate
Upham Inns
Date: 3 weeks ago
City: Havant
Contract type: Full time
Ready to Lead, Learn & Hit the Road?
If you love variety, thrive in new environments, and want to grow with a business that’s going places—this is your moment.
We’re searching for a General Manager Designate to join our fast-growing pub family across Hampshire & Surrey. This is not your standard GM role. Think of it as your passport to leadership adventure—supporting multiple pubs, inspiring different teams, delighting guests, and learning every corner of our business. Within 12 months, you could be running your very own pub.
Why You’ll Love It Here
We’re a proudly independent family of premium pubs with rooms, scattered across some of Southern England’s most beautiful spots. From charming countryside inns to fresh new concepts like Harper’s Steakhouse, we’re all about seasonal food, warm welcomes, and unforgettable experiences.
Come for the challenge. Stay for the people. Grow with the brand.
We’re small enough to know your name, big enough to give you real opportunities.
Ready to hit the road? Apply now and let’s make it happen.
