New opportunity to run the Fountain Inn in Leek

The company that owns the Dart Inn on Short Street in Burton-on-Trent is offering local people the chance to run the pub after its lease recently became available.

Admiral Taverns, which is one of the UK's fastest growing independent pub companies, says that its licensees come from a range of different backgrounds and previous management experience isn't always required before taking on a lease.

Mark Lonsdale, business development manager for Admiral Taverns, said: "The Dart Inn is a fantastic pub that is popular with the local community and we're certain it will continue to do well under a new landlord who has the local knowhow to make it a success.

"The complete change of lifestyle that becoming a landlord offers can prove to be hugely satisfying. Experience isn't necessary but having the drive and stamina to run a pub well is crucial. Admiral provides extensive training and support, especially during the early stages when licensees are starting out.

"We're keen to hear from anyone who is interested in running their own pub business. New landlords can secure an Admiral Taverns pub with an investment of as little as £5,000 and funding opportunities may be available for the right applicants.

“We encourage our landlords to run their pubs their way and offer choice and flexibility in terms of tenancy and lease agreements.”
