As a focused pub operator, we have simplified our structures and adopted a one team approach across our business, working better and smarter, to deliver our vision of pubs to be proud of. We have developed a clear guest-focused pub strategy with a roadmap to deliver our core pub goals, our corporate goals and our financial strategy which will ultimately deliver shareholder value.
We will measure ‘Better than the rest’ by being the best pub locally when comparing our social scores and by consistently outperforming the market. Once we have achieved this we will work tirelessly to stay there. Our financial target of ‘Back to a billion’ will drive shareholder value by growing earnings to above £1billion and reducing borrowings to below £1billion within 5 years.
