Chris Cornforth is the Co-Founder and Group CEO of Harvest Hospitality, an Australian hospitality investment manager and operator with a growing portfolio of pubs across New South Wales and South Australia.

With more than two decades in the industry, Chris has built his career from the ground up across pub operations, hospitality leadership and strategic investment. It’s given him a perspective that’s equal parts operator and investor, and a genuine belief in the role pubs play as gathering places at the centre of local communities.

That belief shapes how Harvest approaches its portfolio. The business has built a reputation for identifying pubs with real potential and doing the work to revitalise them through targeted capital investment, operational improvement and a commitment to deep local engagement.

Since co-founding Harvest Hospitality, Chris has led the group’s growth into a recognised pub investment manager and operator with a reputation for disciplined investment and long-term value creation.
