Beat 6
In November 2021 Nico Simeone, owner of restaurant chain Six by Nico, opened new venue Beat 6 with all proceeds going to Beatson Cancer Charity. Nico tells us why it was important for him to open the restaurant.
“My wife Valentina was looked after by Beatson Cancer Charity a few years back, and since seeing the support she was given back then I just knew I wanted to do more to support them. We have always been proud to support Beatson Cancer Charity as a family, but opening Beat 6 was always a dream for us.
It goes without saying it will always hold a special place in our hearts. Supporting Valentina but also other close family members over the years, they’ve done so much for us personally. I know so many people reading this will have experienced the care of Beatson Cancer Charity and I am so grateful to be in a fortunate position to support the charity as much as we can.
It was really amazing to see our team, the Six by Nico and the Beatson communities come together to support and celebrate such an amazing charity. We have raised such an amazing amount in the name of charity while enjoying good food, it’s a win-win for absolutely everyone. I had my wife, my parents, kids and my closest friends there on the first night and it was pretty emotional. I got to cook alongside my closest friends in the business since we began, and opening a restaurant in support of Beatson Cancer Charity was one of my biggest dreams.”
