MEET RORY… 🐝 As the founder of Bee, Rory Laffan has been leading the way for over 20 years. The friendliest man in the industry, he has built great, genuine relationships with both people and brands. Rory is obsessed with food and even launched his own pizza business, Fired Up, which operates at some of the best summer festivals in the UK. Understanding the challenges of running a business firsthand, Rory is dedicated to easing his clients' lives with smart introductions and long-lasting connections. Rory has recently set up Punt & Dine - an extravaganza of a day in Cambridge primarily for people within hospitality. Join him on Wednesday 10th July for a slap up meal at Jesus College and a punt down the River Cam. Proceeds go to charities that mean a lot to Rory: Only A Pavement Away , Wintercomfort for the Homeless and Arthur Rank Hospice. DM us to get your tickets. In the meantime, here are Rory’s top tips for London:   🍴 Favourite restaurant? This is a tough one because I have a few favourites, but I absolutely LOVE Manteca. It's always buzzing, the food is delicious, and you don’t need to spend a lot to have a great meal. Recently, I was also blown away by the flavours at Kolae. 🍺 Favourite pub? Okay, so it's not exactly a pub, but it has that vibe and is my go-to spot for an after-work beer before I jump on the train home: The Double Standard next to our office in Kings Cross. 🔥 Place you're desperate to try? There are so many, but if I had to choose one, it would be The Ledbury. I've only ever heard amazing things about it, and I would love to experience it myself. Also, Crisp Pizza—I'm obsessed with pizza, and these guys are killing it. 🔮 What opening are you most excited about in London? I really want to try Roe because some of their dishes look incredibly clever. Also, I’m excited for when my friend Liam opens Marceline in Canary Wharf. I know how much love is going into everything, so I can't wait to see it and get down there. #beehospitality #recruitment #London #hospitality

MEET JAMES… 🐝 At 6'7", he's pretty hard to miss. With nearly 10 years of experience working alongside Rory at Bee, he's a true expert and a fountain of knowledge in the hospitality and people sector. James Watson 's recruitment style is a perfect reflection of his personality. He's loyal, honest, and deeply passionate, always taking responsibility and genuinely caring about the people and businesses he works with. He doesn't rely on a database to match great talent with new opportunities—he remembers everything! His superpower would definitely be making inspiring introductions that would normally send most people into a panic. We asked James for his favourite places in London or Kent. Here are his top tips: 🍴 Favourite Restaurant? Fallow, without a doubt. The service, food, and ambiance are always impeccable. As a meat lover, their short ribs are just mouth-watering. 🍺 Favourite Pub? Pigs Head in Clapham – this place is on another level. I've known the owners for years, and their attention to detail, commitment to sustainability, and overall approach are fantastic. The food is simple yet brilliant, and there's no better spot for a Sunday Roast! 🔥 Place You're Desperate to Try? Roe – the buzz around this place is incredible. If they can replicate the success of Fallow, it’s sure to become another favourite. ✅ Somewhere Everyone Should Visit When They’re Next In Kent? There are so many amazing places popping up, and having lived in Kent for over 25 years, it’s wonderful to see the area thriving. I love Pomus in Margate and The Counter in Tunbridge Wells - these spots champion local suppliers, which is fantastic because the UK has so much to offer. My family and I always try to shop and support local as much as possible. #beehospitality #londonfoodies #margate #hospitality
