LEADING Scottish hospitality group Buzzworks is celebrating after being named the UK’s ‘Best Managed Pub Company’ at the prestigious Publican Awards.
The Ayrshire-based bar and restaurant operator – which has 21 venues across Scotland – was recognised for its outstanding management, strong innovation and exceptional business performance at a glittering ceremony at Evolution London on Wednesday night (26 March).
Buzzworks is the first Scottish company to win an award of this kind at the ceremony, which celebrates the very best managed companies currently operating across the country.
Kenny Blair, managing director at Buzzworks, said:
“Being crowned winners of the ‘Best Managed Pub Company’ category against such stiff competition from across the UK is a monumental moment for us.
“We are honoured to be the first ever company to bring this Publican Award back to Scotland and are incredibly proud to have been given the opportunity to fly the flag for the vibrant hospitality sector which exists here north of the border.
“This award goes beyond customer service - it recognises the forward-thinking, constantly evolving culture we’ve built at Buzzworks.
“We have always believed that success comes from staying innovative, embracing diversity, and continually pushing ourselves to improve, whether it’s how we develop our people, the way we run our business, or the experiences we create for our guests
“To have that recognised at this level is a real honour and we can’t wait to celebrate it with our incredible teams across central Scotland.”
