We’re going all in for the Six Nations 2025 with a £60k investment in our biggest ever support package for pubs! 🍻🏉 Over 1,400 free promotional kits, staff training, and an engaging digital rugby game are designed to enhance the customer experience for our licensees. The kits contain inflatable rugby balls, posters, bunting, and guides to help staff better connect with rugby fans. Additionally, a leaderboard and social media assets will increase competition and foster a lively sports atmosphere. 🏆 Cathy Olver, Retail Director, says “Star Pubs retail kits and social media support helped our pubs to outperform the market in 2024. Our research shows that point of sale and marketing made a real difference to the bottom line, with those pubs using it benefitting by as much as £1,300.” Let’s make this Six Nations unforgettable! 💪 #SixNaions2025 #StarPubs #Rugby #PubLife #LiveSports

The Pubs Code Adjudicator has launched the Annual Tied Tenant Survey. A total of 1,200 tied tenants will be contacted by the independent research company Ipsos, which represents 15% of all tied tenants from the six pub companies operating under the Pubs Code: Admiral Taverns, Greene King, Marston’s, Punch, Stonegate, and ourselves. The PCA’s Annual Tied Tenant Survey aims to promote fairness in the tied business relationship. It does this by providing reliable comparative data on tenant experiences regarding their key Code rights, the information and support they receive, and their overall satisfaction with their business relationship with their pub company.
