General Manager Vacancy

One Over the Ait, Kew Bridge

A fantastic opportunity has become available to be the new General Manager of the iconic One Over the Ait in Brentford.

It’s a truly striking riverside pub perched by the Thames near Kew Bridge, 500 yards from Fuller’s support office at Pier House and a great career development opportunity! It also has good transport links via the train, busses and underground if you are commuting as this is a live out.

Due to the changes to the local area One Over the Ait is a really exciting business, you have a chance to decide it’s direction. With the mix of sport from Brentford FC and London Irish playing in the community stadium close by and Sky / BT on the tellies, sport is just one aspect. However, the local / discerning customer, when there is no sport on, needs to be catered for too. Then there is a colourful outdoor terrace or the function space which could easily be maximised with a little “outside the box” thinking. The new General Manager can consider what the niche is locally?  All of these aspects make it such an exciting project to work alongside the Operations Manager with and create something exceptional along with a real positive reputation in Fuller’s.

Drink & food sales are currently around £11,000 and £8,000 a week respectively and are focussed on evening and weekends which leaves the opportunity to grow lunch trade with the offices and community locally.

The seasonal elements as well as the mix between local and visiting customers, like the typical football fan, requires a versatile and highly organised manager at the helm of the business to drive exceptionally high standards and retailing. The General Manager must also have a relentless energy, positive glass half full outlook and microscopic focus on the hospitality experience they and their team give whist in return they get a chance to do something special in Fuller’s whilst, raising their profile.


What can we offer you?

  • Annual performance-based bonus
  • 25 days holiday plus bank holidays
  • Medical & Dental cash plan including video GP appointments
  • Enhanced pension scheme
  • Life Assurance
  • 25%-40% staff discount off food and drink, across all our pubs and hotels for you and your friends and family (increases with length of service)
  • Discounted hotel stays
  • Full induction and training
  • Opportunity to grow in your role
  • The option to receive 30% of your earnings as you earn them with Wagestream. This means you won’t need to wait until payday for your money.
  • Retail discounts with the My Fuller’s Hub

Could you write the next chapter of our story?

As our General Manager, you’ll be the driving force behind the success of the pub.

Ultimately, the smiles on faces, the return visits and the positive reviews are all down to you - making this one of the most rewarding jobs in the hospitality business.

For any General Manager, Fuller’s is a special company to work for. You’ll get lots of help and support from our Support Office when you need it, but also plenty of encouragement to put your own spin on the pub.

You can take plenty of pride in the role too, knowing that Fuller’s ales, food and service has a reputation as some of the very best in the business.

You’ll need to be commercially minded, making the right decisions to keep customers pouring through the doors. Importantly though, you’ll be a people-person too - mindful that to many, you’re still a good old-fashioned ‘Landlord’.

And of course, you’ll have a team to look after. So, we’re looking for somebody with true leadership qualities – able to keep both the customers and the team smiling.
