Punch: tied model needs to evolve

http://www.morningadvertiser.co.uk/news.ma/article/83332

Dear Roger You are new to business at Punch aren't you? You cannot possibly know what your company has really been up to in its outermost recesses. Punch cannot 'continue to provide robust support for the great British pub' because it never has. There is certainly a cult sorry I mean a culture, approaching brainwashing, of Punch management believing the rhetoric that Punch supports licensees but that's as far as it goes - I will buy you a bottle of fine Pinot Noir if you can prove otherwise. Or a decent Chablis if you'd prefer a chardonnay. Even your 'Shine Awards' licensees don't have much good to say about Punch. You haven't got a chance Roger although I'll wish you luck.
