It’s not very often that your local landlord or landlady gets to be on the other side of the bar and enjoy being the ones to be waited on.
That’s why every year Everards gets their independent Business Owners of its 175 pub estate together for a fulfilled day to celebrate all the hard work that goes into making a great pub business and supporting the local community, as part of its ‘Make A Difference Awards’.
This annual get together provides a rare day out of the pub to enjoy being waited on, a fantastic meal and a fun day at Leicester Racecourse. But the day is also about recognising and raising a glass to those Business Owners that have gone above and beyond to make a difference to their pub and communities. This could be through innovative events, money raised for charities and local causes as well as new and exciting experiences for their customers.
This year 14 pubs were awarded with a Make A Difference Award. These winners will join the Everards team on a well-deserved trip to Florence, Italy later in the year as a thank you for all their hard work.
“We had another great day at Leicester Racecourse this year. It was a pleasure to host everyone, crown our 14 winners and celebrate such successful businesses. We are proud of every one of our pubs and it’s great to be able to recognise the hard work the Business Owners all put in throughout the year. It’s really nice to see everyone come together under one roof – it’s like a big family gathering.” says Richard Everard
