Wigan Based
Global Standards
OV-Group is a privately owned leisure and hospitality company based in Wigan. With a combined 50 years of experience in the sector, we specialise in the operation and management of licensed premises, staff training, property lettings and hospitality technology.
Our approach is hands-on. We work directly with breweries, independent freeholders and property owners to deliver results — whether that's turning around an underperforming site, launching a new venue, equipping operators with the right EPOS technology, or managing residential and commercial lettings.
Everything we do is rooted in Wigan and the North West, but our standards and ambitions stretch far beyond. We're building a diverse, growing group that brings real expertise to every arm of the hospitality industry.

How We Support the
Hospitality Industry
Pub Turnaround & Site Revitalisation
Underperforming venues are our speciality. We take on struggling pubs, bars and licensed premises and transform them into thriving community hubs. Our turnaround process covers everything from refurbishment planning and brand repositioning to staff recruitment, training and operational restructuring. We've brought failing sites back to profitability across the North West.
Hospitality Staff Training & Development
Quality service starts with quality people. We deliver comprehensive hospitality training programmes for bar staff, front of house teams, kitchen management and general managers. From cellar management and cask ale care through to customer service excellence and licensing compliance — we develop the people that make great pubs great.
Brewery Partnerships & Freehold Operations
We work hand-in-hand with major breweries and independent freehold owners to operate and manage their pub estates. Whether you're a brewery looking for a reliable tenant operator or a freehold owner seeking professional pub management, we bring decades of experience to every partnership — protecting your asset while growing its potential.
Hospitality EPOS & Technology Solutions
Our in-house EPOS solutions are built specifically for the hospitality sector. We provide complete point of sale systems for pubs, bars, restaurants and hotels — covering till management, stock control, real-time sales reporting, supplier integrations and multi-site dashboards. Designed by operators who understand the daily reality of running a busy venue.
Property Lettings & Accommodation Management
Beyond hospitality venues, we manage residential and commercial property lettings. Our accommodation arm provides professionally managed rooms and apartments — from budget hotel rooms and serviced accommodation through to long-term residential lets. Every property is maintained to a high standard with professional tenancy management throughout.
New Venue Openings & Launch Support
Opening a new pub, bar or hospitality venue is complex. We support new openings end-to-end — from premises licensing applications and fit-out planning to recruitment, menu development, supplier negotiation and launch marketing. Whether it's a traditional community pub or a concept cocktail bar, we've launched them all.
Licensing & Compliance Consultancy
Navigating licensing law, health and safety regulations, food hygiene standards and employment legislation is a full-time job. Our consultancy team handles premises licence applications, DPS transfers, personal licence training, health and safety audits, HACCP documentation and ongoing compliance monitoring so operators can focus on running their business.
