Company DetailsWith over 4,000 pubs brandishing the Punch Taverns brand, the company is one of the biggest pubs and bar outfits in the United Kingdom. Their name is associated with almost 1 in every dozen pubs in Britain. The drinks, food and other business operations of Punch Taverns bring in over £1,000 million a year, netting them profits of over £150 million. The Punch Taverns enterprise was started in 1997 by Hugh Osmand and Roger Myers who had been instrumental at Pizza Express and Café Rouge respectively. They have a mix of business models, with some Punch Taverns pubs and bars run by managers, some leased out and yet others looked after by a tenant. What that means is that your approach to finding a bar job at your local Punch Taverns hostelry could differ depending on who is effectively running it. If you are a student just looking for a few hours working behind the bar then you will probably be best off just calling into the local Punch Taverns and asking the bar staff, managers or tenants if there is anything available. Recruitment for Punch Taverns jobs at this level is often done locally and you might well be given a job on the spot if you look the part. If you have bigger ambitions in the pub game, then students and graduates could also consider managing their own Punch Taverns pub or working in partnership with them to take on a tenancy, lease arrangement or franchise. Another option for jobs at Punch Taverns is to work as part of the support network to their pubs, partners and distribution chains. The main support base is at Burton-upon-Trent in Staffordshire, but they need good staff all over the country and recruit on a regular basis. Roles available at Burton-upon-Trent and out in the field for Punch Taverns are many and varied, but will always include a mix of call centre work, jobs in finance, marketing positions and logistics. |
