Nick Perry is a lifelong hospitality professional who has secured a role in practically every department of the restaurant industry. Brought up in Greenfield, Greater Manchester, into a food-and-drink-loving family, he began working in pubs and restaurants as soon as his age would permit. After studying in his hometown, he took up restaurant work full time in Central Manchester before embarking on a two-year working holiday, which took in Asia and Australasia. Here his passion for great food and drink grew and, upon his return to the UK, he quickly moved to London to seek professional growth in hospitality. It was working for London restaurateur Jamie Oliver where Nick first crossed paths with Paul Rosser, becoming friends, and eventually going into business together curating pop-up cocktail and restaurant events as Paloma Drinks Co.
