Are pubs your passion? Do you possess a natural entrepreneurial spirit to boost sales and lead a team? Dreaming of running your own business? Look no further – Joseph Holt has an incredible opportunity for you

We’re currently seeking a dynamic and driven Retail Partner to fill the position at The Railway. With 176 years of brewing expertise, Joseph Holt has mastered the art of the perfect pint, and we’re on the hunt for an enthusiastic retail partner to help showcase it.

The Railway is a stunning community pub located in Higher Openshaw, featuring ample outdoor seating at the front, while inside, the pub boasts two cozy rooms on either side of the entrance, ideal for socialising with friends and family. Moving further in, the space transitions into a spacious and versatile area at the back, perfectly suited for entertainment, quiz nights, and hosting a variety of functions. The Railway offers Sky and TNT Sports, making it an ideal destination for sports enthusiasts. This provides a valuable opportunity to drive revenue while creating a lively and welcoming atmosphere for guests to enjoy live events.

As a Retail Partner, not only will you be responsible for managing your own team, but you’ll also have the exciting task of positioning your pub as a vibrant community hub. Bring your innovative ideas, host engaging events, and passionately drive sales and profits. Currently, the business takes an average of £8k per week, with genuine scope for a Retail Partner/Pub Manager to grow this even further, so at least two years’ experience operating at this sales level is essential. Join us on this thrilling journey and make your mark with Joseph Holt

What is a Retail Partner, you may ask?

It is the easiest way to run your own pub without the high entry costs of a traditional tenancy or lease agreement.

• Employee assistance programme (LTC)
• Paid training

Interested? Here’s what we need from you?

• Previous experience operating £8k+ in sales each week
• Previous management experience in the hospitality industry
• An interest in/network in live music is beneficial but not essential
• Passionate about pubs and selling beer
• Strong sales focus
