This is a project that was close to the heart of Tim Bacon, founder of Living Ventures, who passed away unexpectedly a few months ago. Seizing the opportunity to secure the venue when it came available in 2015 he said: “I have admired this space for many years and have fond memories of it as Reform in the 90s. It’s history is fascinating and having been a hospitality establishment for nearly 145 years, we aim to successfully continue the tradition. It will be a sensitive and complimentary upgrade, as I’m keen not to lose any of the character which oozes through this space.”
Renowned interior designer, Michelle Derbyshire, will oversee the transformation and deliver their shared vision for Grand Pacific, having worked closely with Tim on a number of previous projects including Australasia and Artisan.
