Tim Hall and Marc Wise seek investment for wine-led neighbourhood concept

Hospitality entrepreneurs Tim Hall and Marc Wise are seeking investment for a new challenger brand that aims to reinvent wine “as an experiential neighbourhood concept”. According to the deck, the pair have identified more than 50 potential sites for a national rollout of their new concept, The Wine Yard. It appears they are targeting Brighton’s Kemptown area for the first site. A recently approved licensing application shows that newly created holding company Hall & Wise Limited has either acquired, or is in the process of acquiring, 120 St George’s Road, a prominent site in Kemptown Village that previously traded as Arcobaleno.
