Working with Caldmore

Careers at Caldmore Taverns are different. Unlike many corporate ‘pub-co’ operations, we believe in creating partnerships with our landlords. Strong relationships that harness creativity, entrepreneurship and financial reward.

We ensure that all the supply benefits of running a freehouse venue are retained. And that you benefit from the competitive purchasing of our group model.

Business opportunity FAQ

Business opportunity FAQ

Below is a selection of the common questions we get asked by people who are interested in joining the Caldmore team.

Caldmore operates a market-leading profit share model. Your financial reward directly correlates with the performance of your freehouse.

There is, therefore, an unlimited earning potential. It is also important to note that the profit share percentage doesn’t change, resulting in us both growing together.

Running a freehouse means that you are free from being tied to purchasing from a large organisation who control both the price that you pay and the products that you list, which often results in it being hard to spin a profit.

We believe in passing cost savings onto our landlords who should be rewarded for their hard efforts in running our fine venues.

This is by all means encouraged! We have many applications from couples and families and we often find that different skill sets make the best partnerships. It is also beneficial as it means that labour costs can be reduced with workload that can be spread within the partnership.

The cost to enter one of our pubs is very low. All we ask for is a small ‘bond deposit’ that will be reimbursed if you elect to leave the business one day.
