Focus: Bar and restaurant
Russell Taylor
Age: 29
Company: Grafton House
Working for Gordon Ramsay can be a baptism of fire for anyone hoping to succeed in the restaurant industry, but Taylor survived the abrasive chef to launch Grafton House with Quentin Dawson last year. Having run bars since university, Taylor’s venture serves up locally sourced, organic produce. Turnover already stands at an impressive £1.3m, with further opportunities being sought.
