Lease A Pub In Preston
Admiral Taverns are seeking a licensee who would need to be able to manage a high tempo, busy pub. The business is already in a strong position but there is room for growth which a licensee would need to tap in to. Marketing the function room, a better and more profitable bar line up and promoting spirits will help delivery income growth. They’ll need to be experienced and be able to manage a strong group of staff to deliver a great customer experience with fantastic standards. The ability to cater for different groups of people from different age groups and background is essential; overall they must be a friendly and welcoming face behind the bar and to continue to cater for the local community. A passion for football and entertainment would help as these are essential footfall drivers for the business.
