Deep Blue Restaurants, the owner of Harry Ramsden’s, has appointed Andy Hulbert as vice president of international and commercial.
In his newly-created role, he will focus on growing franchising and licensing opportunities domestically and internationally. 
Mr Hulbert most recently served as director at the RUNO Group, where he secured high-profile clients including PAUL Dupris, The Massage Company and CUPP Bubble Tea.
James Low, founder and CEO of Deep Blue, said: “We are placing great emphasis on the growth of our Harry Ramsden’s franchising and licensing business, and we aim to build on the success of nationwide deals with the Rank Group (Mecca Bingo) and Iceland Foods.
“Our pipeline of international opportunities is also growing consistently and securing Andy, who has a wealth of experience with an astute commercial mind, is a real coup for our business and the growth of the iconic Harry Ramsden’s brand both in the UK and internationally.”
Harry Ramsden’s has been serving up its world famous fish and chips since 1928 and operates a string of stores around the UK, including a 420-cover restaurant in Bournemouth.
