Hydes appoints general manager of The Nursery Inn
With over 12 years of hospitality experience across Greater Manchester and the north west, Jordan Nolan previously managed pubs in Chorlton and Manchester city centre
Hydes Brewery has announced the appointment of Jordan Nolan as the new general manager of The Nursery Inn, a popular community pub in Stockport.
Nolan joins just as the pub has reopened following a £250k refurbishment.
With over 12 years of hospitality experience across Greater Manchester and the north west, Nolan previously managed pubs in Chorlton and Manchester city centre for another pub company.
The refurbishment of the 1939-rebuilt Nursery Inn, a Grade II-listed building which has been in the Hydes estate since 1911, includes a full interior overhaul including a respectful redecoration, new furniture and fixtures that are totally in keeping with the pub’s original 1930’s build.
Nolan said: “I know The Nursery Inn very well so the chance to run such a key hub for the local community is a major opportunity for me to further my career with Hydes. Working in busy community pubs for the past decade has served me well, including operating under the most challenging conditions the hospitality industry has ever faced.
“I intend to build on the strong community bond that the Nursery has established over the past 90 years or so. The entire team at Hydes have been very welcoming and supportive of my future plans. I’m looking forward to working closely with them to give a new lease of life to this great community pub.”
This latest refurbishment forms part of an ongoing multi-million investment programme across the Hydes’ estate over the next few years. Over the last two years, Hydes has committed over £10m to refurbishments of pubs across its estate and intends to continue with supporting and investing in its pubs throughout 2025.
Adam Mayers, MD of Hydes Brewery, added: “Jordan is a first-class manager with lots of energy and enthusiasm and the perfect fit for The Nursery Inn. His experience and commitment is second to none and he possesses all the key customer service attributes that Hydes looks for in its employees.
“Alongside his dedicated team at The Nursery, Jordan will prove to be a huge success with both regular and new customers delivering a great experience for all within characterful surroundings, combined with Hydes’ quality range of beers and unrivalled standards of customer service.”
