ILTSA

ILTSA The Institute of Licensed Trade Stock Auditors (ILTSA) is the only qualifying body for stocktakers w Why Use a Qualified Stocktaker?

What then can a qualified stock auditor do for your business? After cash, the most valuable and the most vulnerable asset is your stock. A regular stock audit will ensure that any shortages, thefts or wastage are quickly highlighted, enabling action to be swiftly taken to minimise any loss. The pub stocktaker is on site many times during the year providing up-to-date information on the state and p

rofitability of the business. This contrasts markedly with the end of year accounts prepared by the accountant, which must be viewed historically. A competent stock auditor can also offer advice based on many years experience analysing just what the figures mean to your business.

Today I'm travelling to London to attend the launch of the Pub Code Adjudicator's Tied Tenants Survey at Brewers' Hall.

The survey provides an important opportunity to hear directly from tied tenants about their experiences and to better understand the challenges and opportunities facing pubs across the country.

As Head of Marketing and Development at ILTSA, I'm looking forward to engaging with industry leaders, stakeholders, and fellow representatives to discuss the findings and what they mean for the future of the tied pub sector.

I'll be sharing key insights from the event and highlighting issues that matter most to our members. It's vital that the voices of tied tenants continue to be heard and reflected in policy and industry discussions.

UK Growth Beats Forecasts — but Hospitality Must Stay Focused

Today’s UK growth figures are more encouraging than many expected, with the economy growing by 0.5% in February 2026, well ahead of most predictions of just 0.1%. That is a welcome sign, but it does not remove the wider uncertainty facing the next quarter, particularly if the US/Iran conflict continues to affect energy prices, inflation expectations, and consumer confidence.

For the licensed trade, the impact could still be felt quickly. Even with stronger-than-forecast growth, higher operating costs, more cautious customer spending, and uncertainty around discretionary demand may continue to place pressure on margins across pubs, bars, restaurants, and hotels.

That is why disciplined stock control, accurate auditing, and close attention to margin management remain so important. In a market like this, businesses that understand their numbers are better placed to protect profitability and respond with confidence.

ILTSA see this as a reminder that resilience in hospitality is built not only through sales and service, but through strong operational discipline behind the scenes.
