Kaitlin Wilkes

Royal Roads University is where Kaitlin Wilkes trained before moving into service and management roles that span London and Stockholm. At The Savoy (American Bar) in London, United Kingdom (from 2012), she worked as server; at Corner Club in Stockholm, Sweden, she worked first as bartender and then as bar manager; and at Blue Bar at The Berkeley Hotel in London, United Kingdom (from 2021), she served as assistant bar manager. Today, Wilkes works as Brand Consultant of self-employed.

Brand consultancy is where bar-floor experience gets translated into language, positioning, and guest understanding, and Wilkes uses that shift without leaving service thinking behind. Her line is plain: "People buy things they know and drink flavours they understand." That approach carries the same bias for clarity that marked the years behind the bar and in management, only now it reaches farther than one room or one list.

Wilkes's signature drinks include Avallen Mojito.

Recognition for Wilkes has followed a career that moved from bartending into management and consulting, with the same direct register intact. An award-winning bartender, she works from a clear premise: keep the guest in view, keep the offer legible, and keep the language doing useful work.
