News Update!! 16-07-2011
The UK job market is currently in an extremely depressed condition (read article
below from the British Beer and Pub association).
HOWEVER, The Original London Pub Co continues to successfully
sort jobs with accommodation for their applicants. They deal more than 500 pubs
in many parts of England including London and southern England and throughout the
midlands and northern England. The Original London Pub Co also deal with a large
London catering company offering food and beverage service jobs in the top London
Hotels and Clubs. Accommodation is also provided with these jobs.
IMPORTANT, It is no longer wise to expect you can quickly
sort work in the UK on arrival and many thousands of Australians, New Zealanders
and Canadians are currently in the UK and failing to find themselves live-in jobs.
Because they have been in operation for more than 15 years and have so many PUBS
on our books, jobs are successfully being sorted for all applicants and before arrival
into the UK.

- Urgent case for a freeze in Beer Tax in next week’s Budget, says BBPA
- 13,000 jobs lost in 2010, and more at stake
- Closures worst in London and North West, but all regions hit
Pubs are closing at the rate of 25 per week, as the trade continues to face tough
conditions in all parts of Britain, according to new figures released today. The
British Beer & Pub Association, which commissioned the new survey, says that the
Government should now abandon plans for a huge seven per cent increase in Beer Tax
in the Budget next week. The BBPA says that with the right policies, the beer and
pub sector, which employs almost 1 million people, could play a leading role in
bringing the economy out of recession.
While the closure rate has slowed from the previous year’s 40 per week, there were
almost 1,300 fewer pubs in Britain by the end of 2010. With a typical pub employing
around ten people, this represents a net loss of jobs of around 13,000 across the
country. Pubs are closing in every part of England, as well as in Scotland and Wales.
The rate of losses is highest in London and the North West, though all regions are
suffering a decline (see table).
With beer still the key seller for pubs, huge rises in Beer Tax, which has gone
up by 26 per cent since March 2008, are a huge drag on the sector, says the BBPA.
To add to the problem, the Government plans a further, swingeing seven per cent
rise in duty in the Budget, through the controversial policy of the beer duty escalator.
This is set to add two per cent above inflation to the existing duty burden, which
would add 3.5 pence in Beer Tax on a typical pint, with bar prices set to rise by
up to ten pence a pint. Taken with the VAT increase in January, the Government is
heading for the biggest ever tax hike on beer in a single year.
BBPA Chief Executive, Brigid Simmonds, comments:
"The closure of 25 pubs every week is bad news for the economy, as the sector plays
such a vital role. It’s also a blow for local communities, with pubs often acting
as the hub of local life".
