Big Fang Collective appoints CEO

Big Fang Collective has appointed Natasha Waterfield as its new CEO.

Waterfield joins Big Fang Collective after an eight-year stint across two roles at The New World Trading company, as HR director and chief operating officer.

Big Fang Collective is an entertainment venue operator and owner of the Golf Fang brand. The company, founded by Kip Piper and Daniel Bolger, was founded in 2016 when they opened their first site in Liverpool inside of the 25,000 square-foot Cains Brewery.

The company now owns and operates five sites across the UK, in Birmingham, Newcastle, Liverpool, Sheffield and Glasgow, with its Golf Fang and Birdies Bar brands.

Beginning in January 2023, Waterfield’s remit in her new role at Big Fang Collective will see her focus on enabling the business to roll out the Golf Fang brand and different concepts within The Big Fang Collective’s portfolio, both in the UK and internationally.

She said: “I am so excited to be joining the Big Fang Collective as their CEO. I’ve long admired the group’s gutsy ethos and I’m looking forward to overseeing its growth as we roll Golf Fang and Birdies Bar, whilst developing new concepts, out across the UK.”

Kip Piper, co-founder of Big Fang Collective, added: “We’re thrilled to welcome Natasha to the Big Fang Collective team. Natasha brings a wealth of experience to the role as well as plenty of passion for what we do. We are all looking forward to Natasha joining us in January as we head into a busy year kicking off with the launch of our Cardiff site in Q1.”
