Who is on the food and beverage team?
“This is a very exciting project for our food and beverage team... The team’s burgeoning food and beverage management experience combined with its established real estate skills and financial management, places us in a strong position to rapidly expand the Wingstop brand”.
Sam Elderfield is mentioned as the "JBL Director of Capital and M&A" in the articles about the pirate office fitout (probably bastardised title from the journalists). Global Macro Trader, Director of Capital, Mergers & Acquisition Doesn't seem to have any retail experience, however his Bachelor's degree is in real estate. There's similarity with this guy (university student of Stuart McAuliffe's in property?) and the discontinued court action in the AFR: http://www.copyright link/business/...art-mcauliffes-bitter-dispute-20170809-gxshru
"The agreed facts in the dispute are that a former Bond University student of Stuart McAuliffe's, William James Anderson, in early 2010 negotiated to invest in McAuliffe Partners, a private equity style firm with a return target of 25 per cent. The firm's most ambitious prize was bringing the Carl's Jr burger chain to Australia, but it failed to close a deal."
"Stuart McAuliffe had already met with Carl's Jr executives via the US embassy and he was invited to the US to finalise the deal."
