Episode 1: From Pub to Powerhouse – The Hospitality Empire of Nick Inkster

Who would have thought that a pub and a church would come together to create one of New Zealand’s most successful bar businesses? Nick Inkster did.

As the visionary behind Inkster Company, Nick has built an impressive hospitality empire, including some of Canterbury’s most beloved institutions—Paddy McNaughton’s, OGB, Civil & Naval, Fox & Ferret, and many more.

In our very first Success Study, we sit down with Nick to uncover the journey behind his growing portfolio. From one venue to the next, we explore how he’s transformed spaces, shaped Canterbury’s bar scene, and built a business that continues to thrive.
