It was great to see @JohnHealey_MP visit The Earl of Strafford in Hooton Roberts last week, a @Stonegate_Group pub which recently reopened following a £250,000 refurbishment.
John commented, “It was real pleasure to see the transformation of the Earl of Strafford first hand."
One month today til the deadline for this year's Guild Awards. We have 16 categories and a prize fund of £18,500. So if you want to replace the winners pictured below on the podium, look out your best work and go to: https://t.co/pUhr40GuNG. Good luck!
Congratulations to everyone involved who made this happen, but most of all @MaureenLPR - the brains and the driving force behind it all! This is just the beginning….
A proposed change to the Articles of Association to include cider as part of our remit as the Guild will now be discussed. A 75% vote is required for it to pass! 🍏🍎
After a lively conversation and taking proxy votes into consideration, the motion has passed with 79% approval to incorporate cider into the Guild of Beer Writers' remit. Wassail! 🍏🍎
@RishiSunak Next week Rishi will be sitting down with Philip Green to chat about lockdown, small retailers and how selling yachts has got so much harder these days.
"The highest level of redundancies is in hospitality." Hospitality got the blame, had to close. People can pile into supermarkets & Oxford St but can't go to well-regulated environments. From boom time last Christmas, pubs closed on a whim with all the decorations up. #PubsMatter
Hospitality headcount 660,000 lower than in February and average hours scheduled also fell. And all this is before the second lockdown and December tiers. These figures are as at October and then we had 1m on full furlough and 400,000 on part time furlough. Jobs now at risk
How can any sane individual justify keeping Central London retail open when hospitality has to shut. We have all seen the crowds in Oxford St at the weekend. This is sheer madness.
