Okells Inns has announced that Shri Naik from Kurries and Steaks who will “take the helm” at the Colby Glen.

Steven Taylor, Managing Director of Okells Inn, said: “We eagerly anticipate witnessing the Colby Glen thrive under Shri's capable stewardship.

“This strategic approach has been at the forefront of my vision since joining Okells Inns as MD last year and, I sincerely hope that the residents of our island will rally behind these entrepreneurs at the Colby Glen, the Central in Ramsey and any future operators, to sustain a strong hospitality sector for our island.”

The current managers, Natalie and Adrian Hugo, will now take charge of the George Hotel in Castletown. Okells expressed its gratitude to the duo and are confident on their next endeavour.
