Nightcap – the owner of The Cocktail Club, the Adventure Bar Group and the Barrio Familia group of bars – has promoted Sarah Miller to chief operating officer.
Miller joined the 46-strong Nightcap last summer as its group director of business operations after five years with Stonegate Group, including two years as business unit director for its late-night division including Be At One, Slug and Lettuce and Popworld. Previous to that, she was operations director for Novus, the private bar, club and restaurant operator.
Sarah Willingham, co-founder and chief executive of Nightcap, said: “Sarah has been an integral force in driving our operations forward, and this well-deserved promotion reflects both her outstanding leadership and the pivotal role she plays in shaping Nightcap’s future. Her passion, expertise and commitment to our values continue to elevate our business, and we have no doubt she’ll make an even greater impact in this new role.”
Miller added: “I’m really pleased to be stepping into this new role, and the faith that Sarah has put in me to take the business further. Nightcap is an exciting business to be a part of, and I am thrilled to be part of this journey.” Earlier this year, Nightcap acquired Brighton’s i360 Tower, which closed last December, out of administration, and the attraction reopened at the weekend. Last month, Propel revealed that Dawn Donohue had stepped down as group managing director of Nightcap and “moved on to new adventures”.
