Proper Pubs, the community wet-led operator division of Admiral Taverns, has been named best community pub operator at the Publican Awards.
The judges were particularly impressed by its defibrillator campaign, installing the units outside all of its pubs, which has saved 11 lives up and down the country.
Over the last year, Proper Pubs has actively invested into its estate, while its venues have raised more than £100,000 for local charities and community initiatives.
“None of this would be possible without our fantastic team, so a huge thank you to both our operators and the whole Admiral team for the continued dedication,” said Proper Pubs director Mark Brooke.
“Our pubs sit at the heart of their local communities and our values elevate this. They are places that bring local people together and this is embedded through our tailored recruitment and bespoke training programmes. Our pubs are constantly hosting a range of brilliant entertainment and raising money for vital local causes.
“This award is true testament to the amazing work each and every person at Proper Pubs continues to do to ensure our pubs are in the best possible position to thrive in their communities, and I am thrilled that their efforts have been recognised.”
