A SOLIHULL pub proved it was a cut above the rest at the Greene King franchise awards.
The Highwood pub was crowned champion in the Community Pub of the Year category.
Greene King Pub Partners, the leased, tenanted and franchise business unit of Greene King, celebrated the success of its franchisees with an awards ceremony held as part of a dedicated Franchise Festival.
A total of eight awards were up for grabs by franchisees, ranging from Food Pub of the Year to Sports Pub of the Year.
The Pub Partners Franchise Awards recognise the very best of Greene King Pub Partners’ franchisees, who operate Hive and Nest pubs in partnership with Greene King.
The awards were attended by franchise partners from across the UK and celebrated their achievements with a festival atmosphere, including a live band and a DJ set.
Penny Baldwin, franchise operations director for Greene King Pub Partners, said: “A huge congratulations to all of this year’s Franchise Award winners!
“These awards are about recognising the very best of our franchise partners – the operators who not only run great pubs but also create brilliant experiences for their communities.
“Our Franchise Festival is a great chance to celebrate together as one team and recognise the incredible growth of our franchise business, which continues to go from strength to strength.”
