Ever wondered what its like to build one of the UK’s most popular and fast growing restaurant chains from scratch?

Join TELL in welcoming the celebrated co-founder of Wahaca, Mark Selby.

Wahaca is the sutainable restaurant group that introduced traditional Mexican food to the masses in the UK. It serves up fresh and honest food inspired by the markets of Mexico. Alongside his co-founder – MasterChef winner Thomasina Myers – Mark has grown Wahaca from a single restuarant in Covent Gardern in 2007 into a chain of 22 restaurants scattered throughout London, Bristol, Manchester, Cardiff, and Liverpool.

Prior to Wahaca Mark was at Capricorn Ventures, where he served as the right hand to the partners. He worked in a variety of financial, operational, and strategic roles; which included projects for Nando’s, Gondola Holdings, and Baker & Spice.

Before Capricorn Mark worked directly with Stelios Haji-Ioannou (founder of easyJet) as the Business Development Director for various “easy” Businesses and, prior to that worked in corporate finance for Merrill Lynch.
