Punch is one of the UK’s leading pub companies with a portfolio of over 7,100 pubs across our leased and managed estates.In June 2009, we brought our operating businesses together under the Punch Taverns umbrella. As a result, we renamed our managed division, Punch Pub Company and our leased division Punch Partnerships. The new names and identities signify the coming together of both businesses and were timed to coincide with the opening of our new low carbon support centre building in Burton Upon Trent. Each operating business has a clearly focused strategy designed to maximise shareholder value and realise synergies across the estate, in terms of negotiating better value supplier deals and in transferring knowledge and skills.

Through almost 20 years of serving up the finest ice cream, cakes, smoothies and shakes, some things have certainly changed. And frankly, some things haven’t. Ever since we opened our first store back in 1988, we’ve been serving up what we refer to as Creations™. In other words, if you want it in your ice cream – you get it. By mixing nuts, fruits and candy into our smooth and creamy ice cream on a frozen granite stone (around here, we call it “the stone”) we're actually more like ice cream artists. Rest assured, our expertise in innovating indulgence didn’t just happen by accident. Cold Stone Creamery, Inc. founders, Donald and Susan Sutherland, discovered their true calling in 1988 when, driven by their passion to serve the world's best ice cream, they opened the first Cold Stone Creamery in Tempe, Arizona. And now, more than 1,400 stores later, people have really warmed up to their cool idea.
