At JW Lees we have experience of dealing with both experienced licensees, who often
just want to get on with running their business, but also with people who are new to the
trade and need more help and support.

We have a full range of training programmes and the brewery is a BII accredited training
centre. For inexperienced licensees we also operate a “buddy system” where experienced
licensees can lend a hand.

Some of the courses that are regularly available include:

• National Certificate for Personal License Holders
• Basic Food Hygiene
• BII Induction Certificates
• Cellar Management

In addition we offer bespoke courses in: Merchandising, Employment Law, Accountancy
and Health & Safety.

Other Support

Being a JW Lees licensee affords you a great opportunity to cash in on your
entrepreneurial flair through your ideas, initiative and personality, but sometimes you need
outside support and someone to bounce those great ideas off.

Your JW Lees Area Manager is there to work with you through a formal monthly business
review meeting and drop-in visits to keep you abreast of changes in legislation, as well
as ways of building business for you and your pub.
J.W. Lees probably have the best Area Manager to Pub ratios in the industry, which means
they are there for you and have the time to help.

In addition to your Area Manager we offer other support services including:

• Marketing - sales and promotional support.
• Property - repairs and alterations.
• Quality - predominantly cellar work and beer quality.
• Distribution - deliveries.
• Telesales - ordering.
• Accounts - direct debits/invoice queries.

Insurance

JW Lees insure the property but the tenant is responsible for insuring the following:

• Fixtures and fittings.
• Glassware.
• Personal possessions.
• Stock and cash.
• Third party liability (public and employer liability).

We can also help you get a competitive premium. In 2006 we managed to save many tenants
over 50% on their insurance costs.
