Aimee McNiven

I’m a dynamic and approachable hospitality professional with over 20 years’ experience leading food and beverage operations across hotels, bars, and restaurants. Known for being a creative, hands-on leader, I thrive in fast-paced environments and love bringing ideas to life that elevate the guest experience. I take pride in building motivated, high-performing teams who share my passion for great service, quality, and innovation. With a proven record in driving commercial growth, developing new concepts, and managing large-scale operations, I bring energy, creativity, and a people-first approach to everything I do.

I have a strong background in leading multi-site food and beverage operations, with proven success in driving commercial growth, developing new concepts, and delivering outstanding guest experiences across hotels, bars, and restaurant portfolios. My experience includes overseeing large-scale catering and events for up to 1,500 guests, managing full P&L accountability, and leading major rebranding and modernisation projects. I’m highly experienced in supplier management, cost control, and strategic menu development, with a track record of improving profitability while maintaining exceptional quality and service standards.

I hold an Advanced GNVQ in Leisure and Tourism, which laid the foundation for my career in hospitality and continues to influence my customer-focused and operational approach.
