Conference
Speakers revealed for Tenanted Pub Company Summit
A high-class line up of speakers have been revealed for the highly anticipated Tenanted Pub Company Summit, hosted by the PMA's sister title M&C Allegra.
The tenanted pub sector is entering a new era, with the pubs code and the controversial Market Rent Only (MRO) option now a reality.
With pubcos large and small embracing diversification and with M&A activity returning to the sector, this must-attend conference examines the opportunities and the challenges ahead as well as introducing you to some the best operators you haven't yet heard of.
The future of the tenanted sector will be explored by:

- Paul Pavli, operations director at Punch Taverns, Publican Award Winner 2015, on the pubco being ‘back off the ropes' and how it is working with tenants to enhance their food offer
- Panel session - MRO: Meltdown or Real Opportunity? The panel discusses the future of the tenanted pub model in the light of incoming legislation. Panellists include: James Staughton, managing director, St Austell Brewery; Andy Slee, Punch Taverns representative in negotiations on the pubs code; Chris Wright, co-founder, Pubs Advisory Service; Greg Mulholland MP, chair of the All Party Parliamentary Save the Pub Group
- Chris Jowsey, trading director at Star Pubs and Bars, Publican Award Winner 2015, on why Star is committed to the longer lease and how this will benefit both pubcos and tenants
