Are you experienced? Well that's the question that my next guest hopes to answer and also hopes that his patrons and customers and teams answer ‘yes’ to. If you’ve been to one of the Inception Group’s bars then I’m sure you have been experienced and you’ve loved every second of it. Our next guest is Charlie Gilkes, who is the Director and Co- Founder of Inception Group. Charlie and the team are the first operators that I saw who had real fun with the Covid restrictions and adapted them seamlessly in how they would welcome, serve and give an experience to their guests… all whilst wearing PPE and with social distancing. Charlie and I also talk about how he dreamt up the concept, how word of mouth became their best marketing and how they launched a cocktail into space, got it back and served it to viral marketing success.
