Sinclair Beecham MBE founded the world-famous sandwich chain Pret a Manger and is a powerful keynote speaker on the factors behind the success of all his business ventures.
Sinclair graduated with a degree in Urban Estate Management. He then joined Crest Estates as a property developer, development, and marketing executive.
Sinclair then teamed up with his partner Julian Metcalfe to form Pret A Manger. In 1986, the first Pret-A-Manger opened in Victoria. By 1993, Pret had 15 shops in London. In 2002, McDonald's agreed to acquire a minority interest in Pret A Manger. Today, Pret A Manger operates in hundreds of stores in the United Kingdom and is in the process of global domination.
The founders are grateful to their loyal customers and love being able to provide people with good, natural food.
Pret A Manger is recognised as a leader in customer service and staff motivation. By giving away unsold sandwiches to the homeless, Pret leads by example as an ethical and successful business.
The founders sold the company in 2008, and since then, Sinclair has developed a new up-market budget hotel concept, one that provides high quality with limited service.
Sinclair is a leading voice in the industry, able to share the Pret story and speak about marketing, branding, entrepreneurialism, and customer service.
