The Guild of Master Victuallers: January 2009

http://theguildofmastervictuallers.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html

The Guild of Master Victuallers. Saturday, January 3, 2009. The majority of forecasts indicate poor trading for 2009. Do not expect much assistance, if any, from Government. Pubcos and brewers appear reluctant to be the cavalry and ‘ride to the rescue’ of the lessee/tenant. Sitting and doing nothing is most definitely not an option. Yet increasingly I am concerned to see licensees doing just that. Perhaps some pubs need to move away from the traditional business trading method. Accept an earlier open...

The Guild of Master Victuallers: Bureaucracy in the Trade

http://theguildofmastervictuallers.blogspot.com/2008/12/gmv-magazine.html

The Guild of Master Victuallers. Monday, December 8, 2008. Bureaucracy in the Trade. As editor of the GMV's magazine I have decided to do some articles on the unnecessary bureaucracy contained in the Licensing Act 2003. We all keeping moaning about it so I thought I would take up the cudgels and see just what the thoughts of grass root licensees are. Hopefully we can get something done, almost certainly in the long term but we have to start somewhere. Look forward to hearing from you.

The Guild of Master Victuallers. Monday, May 26, 2008. Bureaucracy in the Licensed Trade. The finance director of Arkell's Brewery, Ray Fisher, is retiring from the company and has cited the tremendous increase in "red tape" as the major reason for his doing so now. He said "It's absolutely ridiculous, many of these rules and regulations take so long to comply with and in the big scheme of things they mean nothing at all. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

The Guild of Master Victuallers: Meeting with MP to Discuss Exploitation

http://theguildofmastervictuallers.blogspot.com/2008/04/meeting-with-mp-to-discuss-exploitation.html

The Guild of Master Victuallers. Tuesday, April 22, 2008. Meeting with MP to Discuss Exploitation. Representatives of the GMV are to meet with Timothy Farron Lib Dem MP who is campaigning for Government action to "prevent the exploitation of pub landlords" by pub companies. Farron has expressed his grave concerns as to the conduct of those brewers and pubco's that make it very difficult for pub landlords to earn a reasonable living by increasing rents, he has tabled an early day motion (EDM) on the matter.

The Guild of Master Victuallers: Refusal of the OFT to investigate Pubco's

http://theguildofmastervictuallers.blogspot.com/2008/04/refusal-of-oft-to-investigate-pubcos.html

The Guild of Master Victuallers. Thursday, April 24, 2008. Refusal of the OFT to investigate Pubco's. I am shocked that the OFT have refused to investigate the unfair practices of the Pubco's. Their continued resistance to assisting the lessees and tenants in reducing costs, and in particular rental levels, is disgraceful. The longer they they refuse to change their policy the fewer pubs there will be left to save. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Refusal of the OFT to investigate Pubcos.
