“For me Marston’s level of support to our pub partners is second to none. With a 7 day free training course before you go into the pub, ongoing training support online and through our training managers as well as access to marketing materials you have everything there set up to succeed. Add to that when you first go into the pub you will have an existing pub partner there to hold your hand for the first few days or week (our Retail Support Coaches) and lets not forget your designated Area Operations Manager aswell, there is huge experience to help and support you through your journey in running your own pub”

Gary – City Arms, Cardiff
story
I got a call off Marston’s and decided to come back on the Retail Agreement at The City Arms. To be fair, really really good, really happy. I am lucky because I’m in such a lovely location. And takings wise I’m opposite the Principality Stadium. In all fairness Marston’s have been supportive, they give me pretty much everything I ask for. I think it’s a great system to be honest, provided you pick the right pub. I knew the type of pub I wanted to manage and you know Marston’s approached me I didn’t approach them and it was a no brainer for me. I said yes there and then because obviously I’m from Cardiff and managed pubs in the city centre so I knew the potential.
At Marston’s there’s some good area managers about, Terri Hill has been really supportive.
Where did you hear about the self employed opportunities? You said Marston’s approached you?
I already knew about the retail agreement.

When I was approached and asked to take on a retail agreement at this particular pub, The City Arms, it was a no brainer because I love the trade.
What are the benefits of being self-employed compared to when you were at a managed site?
I just love the independence of it to be honest. It’s just the fact you’ve got that freedom. Number one you don’t book any holidays, you just book them yourself because you’re paying for them. Secondly, it’d getting your own accountant it makes the job easier because you can spend the time in the pub working and not at the office.
What would you say to anyone considering making the move to self employed?
I’d say yes, make sure you do your homework in regards to the pub. Make sure they do a good SWOT analysis. If they’re taking on a pub they already have, they should know if it’s going to work or not.
I’ve signed for a 5 year agreement, which is great because I know where I’m going to be for the next 5 years, I have some stability.
It’s a good business, I’m happy, really happy
