Friday preview: Leaving party for CEO of Spirit Pubs
With markets winding down ahead of the end of year holiday period, Friday is set to be even quieter than it usually is, leaving City professionals to catch up on their hospitality skills. Appropriately enough, therefore, pubs company Spirit Pub is holding its annual general meeting at which chief executive Ian Dyson will stand down, to be replaced by his deputy, Mike Tye.
