Publican Awards

The Publican's Morning Advertiser

In April 2011 the pub trade's two best-known magazines joined forces to become a single title: The Publican's Morning Advertiser (PMA).

The new title contains the best content of both, going forward. The new name has historical resonance - it was the original name of the Morning Advertiser when it was first published in 1794.

The PMA also now offers a portfolio of around 20 awards, events and business conferences aimed at showcasing success in the pub trade. Our task at the PMA is a simple one - to become the industry's indispensable guide as it meets the challenge of keeping its existing customers and drawing in more.

The Publican's Morning Advertiser published in association with its founders, The Licensed Trade Charity, is Officially Number One for the on-trade in England and Wales and has long been considered the pub trade's favourite newspaper.

The weekly diet of informative news stories, comment by leading industry figures, in-depth features and lively humour make the package a great read for licensees everywhere.

Sponsoring Best New Site

At Carlsberg UK, we continue to be a major on-trade success story, thanks to our close relationship with customers and significant investment in the total on-trade.

Carlsberg UK significantly outperforms the total on-trade market, selling 26m more pints than in 2009, with individual brand performance similarly impressive. Carlsberg is the best performing standard lager brand in the last six months and we are also proud to boast the UK's number one world beer portfolio which includes San Miguel, the number one draught world beer in the free trade, as well as Tuborg and Staropramen which make up three of the top four. Within the ale category Tetley's is the UK's number two ale brand and the only smooth ale in growth. This strong portfolio has undoubtedly been key to our customers and our continued success.

In addition to the great branded support, we are heavily investing in our unique business support function We Deliver More. We can help you run your business with the free support of Carlsberg UK's marketing team through live events, training days and our on-line portal www.carlsbergwedelivermore.co.uk, which can be used for bespoke POS, business building support and tips to make savings across your business.
