The Opportunity

We are looking for an experienced Regional Manager, covering the Scotland Region. You will support a number of publicans and their businesses within the Core L&T Division. The key objectives of this role are to produce and implement a quality, robust strategic plan for your region, which is designed to increase ‘whole pub profit’ for each pub, benefiting publican profitability and regional like for like income.

To achieve growth, it is essential to recruit and develop capable, well-funded publicans while maintaining high property standards across all leased and tenanted pubs. This commitment to quality supports excellent retailing and protects asset value.

Regular reviews of business performance help identify opportunities for improvement, with actionable plans created for both parties. A challenging but respectful approach is adopted towards publicans who do not fully exploit commercial opportunities, encouraging them to maximise their potential.

Effective collaboration with Pub Support Centre functions and key suppliers is maintained to achieve procurement objectives and operational goals, ensuring all partnerships contribute to the overall success of the business.
