Tom McMullen

Tom McMullen is the Joint Managing Director at McMullen & Sons Limited, a 199 year-old brewery and pub operator that owns and manages ninety pubs in the home counties, together with a smaller number of tenanted businesses. Prior to becoming the six generation to run the brewery he was a corporate tax solicitor.

    Opinion
