Our strategy is clear. We want to ensure customers keep coming back by keeping our brands fresh and building on their reputation for quality, choice, service and value. We want to use the strength of our brands to develop more sites, trading with recognisable and popular offers. With more sites and more customers, we can make the most of our scale in purchasing, marketing and more, and achieve even better returns on investment. And we want to make sure we’ve got the right people in place, with the right training and motivation to ensure our customers always get excellent service. The Company must also continue to be financially sound and we have reduced our debt significantly in recent years. Our remaining debt is guaranteed at very favourable terms against our highquality and cash-generative restaurant and pub businesses, most of which are freehold. However, we intend to be flexible about our property ownership to ensure we make the most of opportunities as they arise. We believe the strength of our brands, the quality of our property and the location of our restaurants and pubs, our great range of food and drink, and the friendly professionalism of our people mean that our business will thrive and successfully grow in the future. We are Mitchells & Butlers. We set the industry standard. www. ceotodaymagazine . com CEO Today Un i t ed Ki ngdom Awa rds 202 2 Hosp i t a l i t y Leade r of t he Yea r CEO of Mitchel ls & Butlers Phil Urban w w w . m b p l c . c o m 39 Our success is based on innovation, listening to customer feedback and ensuring our passionate staff are the best trained in the industry.
