EP212: From One Bar to Eight: The Hospitality Hustle (Nick Inkster)

14 Oct 2025

Description

For episode 212, we sat down with Nick Inkster.   From mopping floors at 4am to running one of Christchurch’s most iconic hospitality groups, Nick’s story is one of grit, growth, and doing what it takes to make it happen. In this episode we talk about building OGB in memory of his dad, the lessons learned from expanding to eight venues, what it’s really like managing 140 staff, and how Christchurch’s next few years might just be its golden era. Plus a few laughs about pub life, loyal locals, and the wild ride of turning one bar into a hospitality group that helped shape a city.   Check out BUSINESS: https://www.inkstercompany.co.nz/ ___________________ We’d like to thank our sponsor for this episode, Gerrards.
