PMA group editor Rob Willock shares his view from the tiller of the trade’s leading publication

Experience key to survival

02-Feb-2012 - I’d rather be running a pub than a shoe shop right now. And that’s not just because the idea of handling people’s feet all day turns my stomach.

26-Jan-2012 - One of the most rewarding duties that befalls the editor of the Publican’s Morning Advertiser (besides all the press launches, beer tastings, industry dinners and, ahem, skiing trips) is to get involved with judging for the Publican Awards.

Keep an eye on the ball

18-Jan-2012 - If I was naive enough to think the Government’s response to the Business, Innovation and Skills Committee report on the pubco-tenant relationship would draw a line under the matter, I have been well and truly disabused of that notion.

Let the Games begin

12-Jan-2012 - It seems a long time ago that Jacques Rogge, president of the International Olympic Committee, announced: “The Games of the 30th Olympiad in 2012 are awarded to the city of… London.”

A pub’s the place to be

08-Dec-2011 - I’ve only just got started, and already I’m editing the final issue of the Publican’s Morning Advertiser of 2011. As is common in the business media, because of the economics of publishing, we now take a Christmas break from producing the PMA in print for four weeks.

In at the deep end

01-Dec-2011 - So there I was, all set to write a gentle comment piece to mark my official first week as editor of the Publican’s Morning Advertiser, saying what an honour it is to be joining the industry and thanking those I have so far met for making me feel welcome… and then the Government issued its response to the Business, Innovation & Skills Committee’s Report into pubcos’ relationships with tenants.
