We are delighted to have her on the team and look forward to seeing her ideas in action as she propels the Think brand."

I look forward to establishing a fluid brand identity for the 'Think' outlet, reinvigorate menu options and provide enhanced guidelines for waste management and sourcing of sustainable produce. I aim to stay true to the core values of the business and exceed customer expectations."
