Roy Ellis is the CEO and co-founder of Mission Mars, a leading UK hospitality group renowned for delivering innovative dining, drinking, and entertainment experiences. 

Ellis first made his mark in the industry by co-founding Revolution Bars with business partner Neil MacLeod.  They opened their first bar in Aston Under Lyne in 1991, quickly expanding to over 60 locations nationwide. 

In 2015, seeking a new adventure, Roy and Neil launched Mission Mars, which has become home to popular venues Albert’s Schloss, Rudy’s Napoletana Pizza, and Albert Hall in Manchester. 

Albert's Schloss is a palatial bier hall specialising in world-class lagers, alpine inspired decor, and food with 7 nights of entertainment.  Since its inception, it has expanded to four locations.  Meanwhile, Rudy's has grown from its humble beginnings in Ancoats, the Little Italy of Manchester, to 27 venues across the UK.
