The British Institute of Innkeeping has been running for over 40 years, and today exists to provide its 13,000 members with key support to help their businesses thrive, take their voices to Government to champion our incredible sector and share best practice from across our diverse and talented membership.

We help and support free traders, lessees and tenants from every area of the pub industry, as they run their businesses in every area of the UK. The BII has launched Workforce, their new membership platform for team members from across the sector, to champion and promote careers in pubs and help BII members to recruit, nurture and develop their hard working employees!

The amazing BII members run pubs at the heart of every community across the UK. Joining the BII gives operators access to support for every area of their business, as well as connecting them to a wealth of information for every stage of their journey - whether they are taking their first pub or have been in the industry for 20 years. If you are thinking about taking your next step on the career ladder to running your own pub, then being part of the BII is a must.
