Say hello to Jim and Jo, our lovely new managers at the Windmill! 👋
They’ve already fallen in love with the pub, so we thought it was time you got to know them a little better.
Jim and Jo met in 1993, went on holiday… and ended up travelling for years! Their adventures took them to Corfu and the French Alps, before they tied the knot in Mauritius in 1999. They have one daughter and over 30 years of hospitality experience between life abroad and here at home.
Jim used to be a professional ski instructor, so if you love skiing, you’ll have plenty to chat about. He’s also a Leeds United fan and previously worked in the club’s hospitality team. He’s already found a golfing partner in our head chef Tony and joined Linton Tennis Club - we’re beginning to wonder how he fits it all in!
Jo lived in Athens for seven years, speaks Greek and even learned to ski in Greece. She’s a great squash player too, so we suspect she could give Jim a run for his money when it comes to sport! 👀
Their drinks of choice? A gin and tonic or a good glass of w**e. Much easier to enjoy than a game of squash, if you ask us.
We’re so pleased to have them here. Pop in, say hello and help us give Jim and Jo a proper Windmill welcome! ❤
