Stonegate weighs in with additional support

The Stonegate Pub Company has added further support to its existing package to help its leased and tenanted pubs – known as the Ei Publican Partnerships – to reopen. Now totalling £28m, Stonegate said the package includes rent credit equivalent to 75% for July and 50% for August for “all tied publicans on substantive agreements”. It also said credits have also been applied to “Tie Release Fees and Fixtures & Fittings rental charges and to assist with future cashflow over the next 12 months” and all rent invoices will now be produced weekly instead of monthly or quarterly.
