Self Employed Pub Opportunity - Stockport

The Woodley is a true community pub and needs a community savvy Management Company to take charge. Bringing “Professional with Personality” – both with a Capital P! Being familiar to customers and many of them familiar to you, while able to deliver a warm welcome to new visitors and embrace the wider community.

Entertainment drives the big nights – therefore knowledge of customer tastes and expectations will be key to then attract the right acts, so knowing the gig scene is a premium attribute

Personality and a customer first approach will make the difference in the Woodley and an ability to be a friendly listener as well as a fierce enforcer are just the ends of the spectrum of traits a Management Company should bring to the table.

Happy to be judged on the contentment of your customers, be it families, couples, regulars, darts & quiz teams and local societies along with many more groups all with different expectations but with the same end result- happy to recommend the pub.

The Management Company will have good routines, disciplines and be organised to ensure statutory requirements are not headlines but second nature and previous experience in achieving good results and feedback in compliance will be on the agenda.

Management and delegation skills need to come to the fore, while organising the next big event the bread & butter day job with the locals must be on point to prevent the Woodley becoming a one-trick pony.
