Tom James, appointed as managing director by Caring in October 2022, has led an energised team and is encouraged by the progress.

He said: “After an incredible amount of hard work from the team, we are now seeing a continued trend of positive results and feel the time is right to grow.

“Our relentless focus on the guest experience has driven the charge forwards with our ethos of ‘Everyone leaves happy’, and we are collectively very excited about the future of the business.”

Chris Davis, centre director of Clarks Village, said: “We’re thrilled to officially announce that Bill’s restaurant will be joining us at Clarks Village before Christmas, further enhancing our dining offering.

“2024 has been an incredible year for Clarks Village with a host of popular new brands, store refurbishments and a line-up of fun, memorable events from the summer cinema and Pawsome Pooch dog event to the forthcoming festive ice rink.”

Bill’s, following the successful trial of two new Café Bar concepts earlier this year in Newbury and St Albans, will open up two new sites before Christmas in Milton Keynes, and Clarks Village in Street, and is in the process of securing a pipeline of properties for 2025 and beyond.
