ABOUT US
The Pub Governing Body was formed in 2010 and is responsible for delivering minimum standards of practice to the licensed retail sector which govern landlords and their relationships with their tied lessees.
The Pub Governing Body Ltd group is made up of three separate and distinctive schemes/companies:
The Pub Governing Body is the organisation responsible for promoting the advancement and improvement of Landlord (Pub Owning Companies) and tied tenant relationships in the licensed retail sector. It covers signatory companies that own between 1 – 499 tied pubs in England and Wales and the signatory companies in Scotland. The PGB achieves this through the publication of Codes of Practice which, set the minimum standard for landlords and enhances their business relationship with tenants and lessees subject to a contractual purchasing obligation.
The Pubs Independent Rent Review Scheme (PIRRS) offers an accessible, independent, low cost rent review resolution service for pub tenants and lessees whose companies are signatories to the England & Wales Tenanted & Leased Code of Practice (1-499 pubs) and the Scotland Code of Practice. This low-cost resolution service is also available to tenants or lessees of pubs belonging to companies governed by The Pubs Code 2016 who wish to remain tied and negotiate the tied rent.
The Pubs Independent Conciliation and Arbitration Service (PICA-Service) offers an accessible, independent, low cost dispute resolution service, to the licensed industry. PICA-Service is available to tenants/lessees of companies that are signatories to the England & Wales Tenanted & Leased Code of Practice (1-499 pubs) and the Scotland Code of Practice.
