Charles Wells Pub Company
The Charles Wells Pub Company was formed as a distinct pub estate for Charles Wells Ltd when the parent company merged its brewing operations with London's Young's Brewery to form Wells & Young's Brewery. The pub company controls 251 houses, all run on tenancy or lease agreements, and declared an operating profit of £6 million in December 2008.
The company has become well known for the support it gives to its licensees and won the title of Pub Company of the Year (tenanted/leased 200+) at The Publican Awards for two years running - in 2009 and 2010. Charles Wells also won The Retention Award at the Springboard Awards for Excellence 2010 in recognition of its work in recruiting, training and supporting licensees.
Its five-day induction programme (CRISP – Charles Wells Retail Induction Support Programme) helps prepare licensees for every aspect of running their own business and is part of their comprehensive training schedule which is open to everyone.

O plain as plain can be
There’s nothing but our own red blood
Can make a right Rose Tree.’”
