RedCat Pub Company appoints new group property director

RedCat Pub Company has announced the appointment of David Roberts as its new group property director, effective from the start of June. 

He replaces Kamran Aziz who will be entering planned retirement, officially leaving the business at the end of June after an “orderly” handover. 

Aziz was part of the original team when RedCat was founded in 2021 and played a pivotal role in building the company’s pub estate. 

Roberts will join the newly-created executive team within RedCat, possessing extensive experience in the hospitality industries. 

He was previously group property director at Stonegate Group, where he oversaw one of the largest pub investment programmes in the UK, as well as formed its strategy around maintenance and property risk. 

Before that, Roberts had a successful career in operations and property in the retail sector with the Cooperative Group. 

Richard Lewis, CEO of RedCat Pub Company, said: “I would like to extend a warm RedCat welcome to David as he joins our executive team. He brings a wealth of experience and strong leadership, particularly as we begin to ramp up our investment programme. 

“I am sincerely grateful to Kamran for his commitment to RedCat and the influential role he has played in helping create the business that RedCat is today. I wish him the very best in his retirement.”

Roberts added: “I am delighted to be joining RedCat at this stage of the journey. We are in a strong position to invest and capture exciting market opportunities, and I look forward to working with the executive team to drive future growth across the group.”
