The Pub Skills Summit is a one-day conference that aims to showcase some of the outstanding work many pub companies are doing when it comes to recruitment and people development.

Other speakers include:
- · Skills minster Nick Boles MP
- · Barry Flack, global people and talent expert
- · David Dasher, managing director, CPL Online
- · Panel debate feature senior leaders from pub and education sector
With the help of selected partners, the summit also aims to equip delegates with new thinking and resources to tackle skills challenges in their own businesses.
The event is aimed at operators of all levels, from independent to multi-site operators, as well as HR and training teams within leased, tenanted and managed pubcos.
The event follows the launch of skills-focused pages in the magazine last year and the PMA’s new Hot Shots initiative, which identifies and celebrates the trade’s rising stars.
PMA deputy editor Mike Berry said: “The pub sector now has some of the best training schemes available to employees across any sector. Pubs are a great choice for young people as they enter the world of work and can provide fulfilling careers. This event aims to showcase the great work currently going on, highlight new thinking and help tackle some of the challenges we still face.”
