The Pubs Code adjudicator has launched the annual Tied Tenant Survey, calling on tied publicans to share their views on their pub company and the PCA.

The survey will be live until mid-March. Tied tenants from the UK’s top six pub companies operating within the code — Admiral, Greene King, Marston’s, Punch, Star, and Stonegate — will be contacted by independent research company Ipsos, and are being encouraged to find time to participate.
Last year’s survey marked a significant milestone for the PC. It was the largest and most impactful to date, capturing insights from more than 1,200 tied pub tenants, and enabling comparisons between the six pubcos.
“The annual Tied Tenant Survey is an essential platform for tied tenants to express their views on their pub company and the effectiveness of the Pubs Code adjudicator in safeguarding their interests,” said Pubs Code adjudicator Fiona Dickie.
“The insight gained helps steer our priorities for the coming 12 months and empowers us to help more hard-working business owners.
“If you are a tied tenant with one of the six pub companies, I urge you to please take this opportunity to make a difference by sharing your experience and perspective. By actively participating in the survey, you are contributing to the ongoing efforts to enhance transparency, fairness, and accountability in the industry.”
