Côte Brasserie appoints new CEO

Côte Brasserie has recruited Emma Dinnis as its new chief executive officer.
Dinnis joins Côte following a successful tenure as managing director at Sofology, where she led the brand’s customer-first transformation.
With a wealth of experience in retail and hospitality, she has also held senior leadership roles at Topshop/Topman, M&Co, IKEA and Marks & Spencer, bringing expertise in brand evolution, guest experience and commercial growth.
Her appointment marks an exciting new phase for the group, which has seen positive results from its updated food and drinks offer, refreshed restaurant design and contemporary service style. With strong investor support, the business is rolling out these changes across its estate and actively seeking new, larger sites to expand its footprint.
Dinnis says of her new role: “Côte is a much-loved brand with an incredibly exciting food offering led by world-renowned chefs and I’m excited to build on its strong foundations. The team has done a fantastic job evolving the brand while staying true to its French brasserie roots and I look forward to leading Côte into its next stage of growth.”
