We’re thrilled to share that Wells & Co has been shortlisted in two categories for the prestigious Publican Awards 2026.
This recognition highlights the strength, creativity, and commitment of our team across the business as we continue to push boundaries and deliver outstanding pub experiences.
The Publican Awards are one of the pub industry’s most respected accolades, celebrating excellence across operational performance, sustainability, and innovation.
This year’s awards ceremony will take place on 25 March 2026 at Evolution London, bringing together the best of the UK’s pub sector.
We’ve been shortlisted for the following Publican Awards
- Best Sustainable Pub Company – Our efforts to embed sustainability at every level of our operations have been recognised yet again, with a nomination in this key category. From reducing waste and energy use to innovative recycling and local supply partnerships, sustainability isn’t just a box-ticking exercise for us, it’s part of how we operate every day.
- Best Partnership Pub Company (Up to 500 sites) – This category celebrates strong partnerships, quality pub operations, and a clear commitment to community and customer engagement. Being shortlisted here reflects the strength of our estate and the values that underpin our success.
Our recognition in the sustainability category follows being recently awarded the Company Sustainability Award at the National Innovation in Training Awards (NITAs).
A huge thank you to our colleagues, partners and customers and we will keep our fingers crossed for March!
