Winners testimonials

We can’t think of any reason why you wouldn’t want to enter these business boosting awards, but don’t just take our word for it. This is what some of the 2014 winners think….

Sue Hawkins, Best Turnaround Pub 2014, winner said: "We absolutely loved winning the GBPA - for no financial outlay we have reaped a huge amount of free publicity and we couldn't recommend entering the awards highly enough to anyone thinking of it, both for the huge amount of fun it is and for the financial rewards it creates."

Sales boost

Matt Samuel, owner of the Pig on the Hill, Westward Ho! Devon and winner of Best Newcomer in 2014, said: "Although the lion's share of our trade comes from seasonal business, we saw a huge uplift for the time of year, of between 5% and 10%, in the weeks after we won, with many customers mentioning that they had seen details of the award in local press coverage. We have found it easier to recruit staff as an award winning pub and have been provided with the impetus to develop our site."

Reward for hard work

Angus McKean, manager, the Red Lion, Barnes, London, winner of Best Cellar 2014, says:"It was a truly wonderful feeling winning the award which we have been after for many years. To be recognised by your industry peers gives you a warm glow inside. It makes all the hard work, late nights and thankless tasks seem worthwhile."

The national winners will be announced at a glittering eighties theme awards ceremony at London’s Hilton Hotel on Park Lane, on 10 September.

So don’t delay, make sure you get your entry in now!
