Ego Heswall

I joined the company seven years ago fresh from University. Working for Ego has given me many opportunities to progress learn and develop within my role as General Manager.

I have had the opportunity to manage different units which in itself has enabled me to develop new skills and face different challenges and new experiences. What makes Ego a fantastic place to work is mainly the people, both the guests, who so many become regulars, you know them personally, and the team you work alongside. The company itself is highly motivated, with a dedication and belief in what they do, because of this I feel motivated and passionate within my role and its something I strive to pass on to my team.
