TOM JOY | PWC
“Yes. This question has been asked since the smoking ban. But pubs will always have a future, especially in central London as they are a convenient hub for meeting people.”
ANDREW SINCLAIR | CHUBB
“I think the number of drinkers will fall significantly with the pressures on prices and income. But there will always be a place in society for pubs.”
HAYZ NAIEF | FDM GROUP
“No. Obviously there will always be exceptions, such as London, but the increase in prices and smoking ban will cause a gradual decline in pubs.”
