BII rent review roadshows
Want to know more about how to prepare for rent reviews, how rents are calculated and how to resolve disputes?
Then you must attend the BII Rent Review Roadshow, run in association with the Morning Advertiser. The roadshows are sponsored by Punch Taverns, Enterprise Inns, Scottish & Newcastle Pub Enterprises and Admiral Taverns. Each will present sessions on their approach to reviews at the five events in September and October.
Trade consultant and MA columnist Phil Dixon will lead sessions offering advice on how hosts should prepare and conduct themselves in the rent review process.
Seminars will feature two of the country's leading experts on rents: Fleurets chairman Barry Gillham and Roger Vickers, partner at Brownill Bateman.
There will be a debate around the upcoming Business Enterprise Committee investigation into the conduct of pubcos, which is expected to cover the rent review process. MA editor Andrew Pring will chair the events.
BII director of membership Steve Howe said: "Just the very thought of a rent review can incite fear in the eyes of a licensee. If you're not properly prepared, they can be a very stressful experience.
"We aim to distill some of the myths surrounding rent reviews, encourage positive communication between licensees and pubcos and assist the process to be as straightforward as possible."
Tickets for each event cost just £25 for BII members and £30 for non-members — contact Belinda Norris on 01276 417825 or visit www.bii.org/events.
