They have now moved to become managers of Wetherspoon’s new pub in Driffield, The Benjamin Fawcett.

Mark began his career with Wetherspoon in 2004, combining a part-time role at the pub for Tony and Donna with his job as a care worker.

Later, he joined the company full time and progressed his career, first as team leader, then duty manager, before training to become a pub manager.

Mark has also worked at two other Wetherspoon pubs in Hull – The Admiral of the Humber and The William Wilberforce.
