MEET THE TEAM - Ben Montgomery Nelson

Hey there!

I'm Benjamin Montgomery Nelson, and I've been immersed in the vibrant world of hospitality for over a decade. From shaking up cocktails to managing bustling bars, I've

journeyed through the industry, soaking up every moment and experience along the way.

My adventure with hospitality began as a Bartender and Glassie at The Claremont Hotel, where I discovered my knack for creating unforgettable experiences and fostering genuine connections with patrons. As I progressed through roles like Duty Manager at The Brown Fox and Bar Manager at Bill’s Bar and Bites, I realized that my passion for this field only grew stronger with each challenge I faced.

But my journey isn't just about the roles I've held; it's about the passion and dedication I bring to everything I do. Whether it's crafting the perfect cocktail, managing teams with finesse, or ensuring top-notch customer satisfaction, I thrive on exceeding expectations and making a lasting impact.

My love for hospitality isn't just confined to the workplace; it's a part of who I am. From studying Marine and Freshwater Science to exploring the intricacies of wine with certifications like the Wine and Spirits Education Trust Levels 2, 3 and 4 (on going), I've embraced every opportunity to expand my knowledge and skills.

Speaking of wine, one of my all-time favorites from our portfolio is the Villa Mangiacane Chianti Classico. Trust me, it's like Italy in a bottle, and I never get tired of enjoying its rich flavors and aromas.

As I continue on this exciting journey, I'm thrilled to bring my passion, expertise, and love for hospitality to every endeavor. Whether it's curating the perfect wine list or connecting with fellow enthusiasts, I'm eager to share the joy of this industry with you all.

So, here's to new adventures, shared experiences, and endless possibilities. Cheers to the future, and I can't wait to raise a glass with you along the way!

Cheers and smiles! 🥂
