John Egnor

The characteristic that makes John Egnor one of the top designers in the hospitality industry is – caring. Not caring in the negative ‘bleeding heart sense’ but caring about all aspects of life: People, work, friends and family, the JME team, clients, community and the environment.

“It’s your responsibility as a human being to care. It’s not a crusade, it’s a reality of life,” he says. Success in the foodservice design world comes from integrating caring into the process, starting with the desired outcome through to the completed project. John has acquired a wealth of knowledge about successful design in his 45 plus years’ experience. One of the key factors is being relentless when it comes to understanding every detail of planning and execution. Not being inquisitive can allow a project to go off the rails, he explains. Not something that is going to happen at JME.

Another key to success is using one’s knowledge to everyone’s advantage so that all stakeholders benefit.

Aware of the unforeseen changes coming to the industry post pandemic, John is ready to help clients navigate the future. He wants them all to succeed at reinventing their operations. In other words, he cares about their success.
