Collective Buying Power
Stronger negotiating potential by combining purchasing demand across member pubs.
Now recruiting founding members
Your pub. Your independence. Our collective strength.
We're bringing independent publicans together to unlock greater buying power, better commercial opportunities and a stronger future for independent pubs.
The idea
A national estate. Independently owned.
Large pub groups benefit from scale. The Collective aims to bring some of those commercial advantages to independent operators — without owning, branding or controlling their businesses.
Independent by Design
Operators retain control of their own pubs, their identity and every business decision.
Built Around Publicans
Commercial services and support developed around what members actually need.
Who it's for
One Collective. Different Pubs.
Every pub is different — and many are more than one thing. Whether you're one of these, or a mix of all three, there's a place for you.
Food-led pubs
Kitchens, dining rooms and Sunday roasts.
Wet-led & community pubs
The locals at the heart of towns and villages.
Sports & entertainment-led
Big screens, live events and match days.
