Training

Here at Macs, we realise that the first key to any successful pub is having well-motivated, passionate people as our tenants. The second is to ensure that they have excellent training that equips them with the tools to do the job properly.

BII

In addition to the training we offer, you will become a member of the BII, the professional body for the licensed retail sector, in the first year. As a member, you will have access to any training provided through the BII at a cost dictated by them.

McMullen's offer the following training courses, which are designed to give you the knowledge and skills necessary to run your pub, and are available to as many members of staff as you choose to nominate.  Ideally we would expect all key members of your team to be trained to the same level as you to ensure your pub is left in capable hands.

All our tenants are required to complete the 3-day induction before taking on a pub. The 3 days include information on day-to-day management, marketing, ways of working, time management, controls, promotions, recruitment and merchandising.  The final day is taken up with a financial controls course to ensure that our tenants are trained in the skills of running a licensed premises.
