Punch Pubs and Co has announced changes to its leadership team as part of its strategy to drive growth and pursue its goal of becoming a “five-star pub company”.
Steve Worrall has been appointed to the newly created role of group projects director. He will establish a project management office and oversee the implementation of strategic initiatives, including partnerships, investments and acquisitions.
The company has also promoted Robin Belither to managing director of Punch Pubs, combining oversight of its leased and tenanted division with its management partnerships arm.
According to AndySpencer, chief executive of Punch Pubs and Co, the change would help deliver “unified, sustainable growth” across both areas.
Punch, based in Burton, has set out five priorities for the year, namely improving partnerships, increasing investment, shifting pubs to optimal operating models, acquiring new sites, and driving innovation.
The company said that the new leadership structure would ensure “closer coordination in pursuit of these goals”.
Spencer said: “Throughout his time with our business, Steve has demonstrated his ability to translate strategy into measurable outcomes, and I’m excited about the positive momentum he will bring to the organisation via this new role.”
