Esner brings extensive experience across foodservice, hospitality, and the FM sector - an avenue PINCH is keen to explore as it continues to evolve its offer. He spent 30 years with WSH and he has also served as a judge and lead judge for the IWFM Awards and is a trustee of Hospitality Action.
He said: “I’m delighted to be joining Katy, Nathan, and the team at PINCH. It’s a fantastic business with strong foundations, and I’m looking forward to supporting its continued growth.”
PINCH provides workplace foodservice and hospitality across the UK, operating staff restaurants, cafés, and hospitality spaces within corporate environments, with established contracts in London, the Northeast, and Cambridge.
Founded and led by managing director Katy Thompson, PINCH has built a strong reputation for delivering ‘outstanding’ food and hospitality within workplace environments, particularly across the legal, technology, and media sectors.
Thompson added: “This is a hugely exciting step for PINCH. We’ve built a business centred on great food, talented people, and strong client partnerships. With Simon on board, we’re well placed to build on that and unlock new opportunities.”
