Another year, another ‘Tigers’ awards celebrated with some very sore heads the next day but with amazing memories and stories to tell!
On Tuesday, Blind Tiger Inns hosted their third annual company awards night at flagship venue, The Grosvenor and it was arguably the best one yet!
Themed around Vegas as the managers work their way towards a trip there in 2027; the event welcomed over 250 guests for an evening of recognition, entertainment and partying until the early hours of Wednesday morning.
Think show girls, gold bars, feathers, card games, magicians, dice (?) – everything you think of when it comes to Vegas, the Grosvenor had it that evening!
As is tradition, money was raised by our teams on the night and an incredible £1,750 donated to Macmillan Cancer.
The awards celebrated excellence across Blind Tiger’s estate, with winners and commendations presented in categories including social media, community impact and overall pub management.
Award Winners:
- Best Entertainment Offer – Winner: The Talbot, Euxton
- Social Media Champion – Winner: Stanley & Co, Preston
- Best Sports Pub – Winner: Argyll & Sutherland, Wirral
- Best Newcomer – Winner: The Little B
- Best Community Pub – Winner: The Wishing Well, Lostock Hall
- Best Turnaround Pub – Winner: The White Horse, Irlam
- Manager of the Year – Winner: Martin Lambe, The Grosvenor
Chris Tulloch, Managing Director of Blind Tiger Inns, tells us,
“Coming into our 10th year and with a trip to Las Vegas pending for all our managers next year, it felt fitting that we based our theme this year on Vegas.
Each year, the event gets even more incredible and I am beyond proud to look around the room and have all our amazing people in one space, celebrating their hard work and excellence.
We’re all talking about 2027 already which will be an exceptionally special one for us as we will be celebrating our 10th anniversary as a business. We don’t yet know how we will top this years event, but that’s what we do at Blind Tiger Inns – constantly strive to get better each year!
Thanks again to all our sponsors, suppliers and the Blind Tiger team that made the event happen!”
