Help is at hand for rural pubs in south east England that want to diversify.

The chairman is Anthony Miller, a former Director of Humberts Leisure.
Pub is the Hub director John Longden (pictured) said: “The formation of this latest regional advisory group is a huge step for the organisation.
“I am delighted to have Anthony Miller as its Chair. He has pulled together a distinguished and experienced group and I look forward to working with them on pub projects in the local communities, particularly as we are seeing such an increase in diversification and the provision of local services coming from the Home Counties and the south east.”
