Big night

Speaking ahead of the event, Publican's Morning Advertiser editor, Rob Willock, said: “I have to say that the Publican Awards 2015 has easily been the most buoyant, positive and exciting event of my tenure as editor of the Publican’s Morning Advertiser. I am pleased to report that, after surviving an unprecedentedly tough few years, the pub industry has finally, fully relocated its mojo, and is back with a vengeance – delivering some stunning business results. And the Publican Awards will reward the best of these.”
