Sam has led major property projects for some of the UK’s leading independent and multi-site brands including Farmer J, Paul Bakeries, Wagamama, Casa do Frango, KOL, and The Roof Gardens Kensington.
Working alongside industry-leading designers to co-create and build spaces that are both beautifully designed and operationally efficient, she has delivered full build, restoration and refurbishment projects from single-site independent fit-outs through to estate-wide rollouts.
Sam has worked with French bakery chain PAUL to maximise cover numbers and improve speed of service across their estate, collaborating with Lille-based designers to carefully combine French comfort and styling with the efficiency demands of London. She has also managed the planning and rollout of nationwide refurbishments and Deliveroo pick-up spaces across the Wagamama group. Sam has managed the design and build of the new Farmer J restaurants in London and the Summer and Winter schemes of the infamous Coppa Club igloos.
Sam has a passion for property and alongside her commercial contracts she has worked on a number of residential spaces. She thrives on creating environments which perfectly balance ergonomic design, lighting and flow to make sure homeowners and guests get the most out of their space.
“We worked with Sam as a consultant on a number of new builds. She also helped us put in place process and structure for all property, facilities and maintenance across our estate. Sam possesses a deep understanding of all things property, and she’s an excellent project manager. Moreover Sam has a huge amount of emotional intelligence and is able to work with various contractors and site teams efficiently and positively. Perhaps most importantly, Sam’s personality is fantastic and she’s a pleasure to work with.”
