Connection to Bel & Brio Owner
Duke of Entertainment is currently listed as the licensee of the nightclub鈥檚 venue, according to liquor licensing and land title records, as reported by gaysydneynews.
Company records of Duke of Entertainment show that at the time of its registration on the 6th of December 2022, the sole director and shareholder was Mark Richerdson.
Richerdson is the director of the Barangaroo restaurant Bel & Brio, which had been forced to close at the end of 2022 due to a dispute with its landlord over $1.8 million in unpaid rent.
Richerdson has been accused of underpaying his staff, creating a 鈥渢oxic culture鈥� and not paying the $2.8 million that is owed to 77 staff members.
However, Richerdson stepped down as director on 10th February 2023, handing the shares and sole director position to Michael Corbett. On his LinkedIn, Corbett is the artistic director at Kings Experience.
