About us/Our business

 
Latino Lounge, 122 Bradshaw Brow, Bolton, BL2 3DD

Punch is one of the UK’s leading pub companies with a portfolio of over 7,100 pubs across our leased and managed estates.
 
In June 2009, we brought our operating businesses together under the Punch Taverns umbrella. As a result, we renamed our managed division, Punch Pub Company and our leased division Punch Partnerships. The new names and identities signify the coming together of both businesses and were timed to coincide with the opening of our new low carbon support centre building in Burton Upon Trent.
 
Each operating business has a clearly focused strategy designed to maximise shareholder value and realise synergies across the estate, in terms of negotiating better value supplier deals and in transferring knowledge and skills.

Punch Pub Company
 
Punch Pub Company is our managed division, comprising of over 800 pubs nationwide.  Formerly known as Spirit Group, our managed business includes some of the best quality managed pubs in the UK. Throughout the year we have focused on putting strong foundations in place to unleash our future potential.
 
Punch Partnerships
 
Punch Partnerships is our leased division, comprising of over 6,300 pubs nationwide.  Building successful, lasting partnerships is at the heart of our strategy. We have focused on supporting our Partners through a difficult year whilst making plans to evolve our business model to deliver a strong leased proposition in a changing industry.
