The e bar - Food & Beverage Director, Nick Tyrie
Tyrie's background is traditionally borne from hotels. He started his career at The Hotel Montalembert Paris as a trainee. Tyrie then moved on to work at The Savoy Group for 5 years and quickly progressed as Management Trainee. Experience of a pre-opening of Regents Plaza Hotel in Maida Vale grounded Tyrie with the nuts and bolts of launching a new operation, which would prove beneficial when opening Bonds. Moving from hotels and into the restaurant forum, Tyrie spent 18 months heading up The Atrium Edinburgh, and then managed the first Itsu in Chelsea London. Tyrie launched Bonds in July 2002 and has been the primary driver to its success.
