The National Brewery Centre is managed by Planning Solutions on behalf of Molson Coors and The National Brewery Heritage Trust
But who are Planning Solutions? Planning Solutions Limited (PSL) creates opportunities in the tourism, leisure and regeneration sectors.
Established in 1995, it traces its history back to the Rank Group, where it was formerly The Rank Holidays and Hotels Developments division. This division was responsible, amongst many other projects, for the development of the Oasis Forest Holidays product (subsequently acquired by Center Parcs) and the rebranding Warner Leisure Hotels.
Management of Visitor Attractions
PSL specialises in the operational management of visitor attractions generally under long term contract arrangements, for third party clients that include family businesses, private companies, charitable institutions and public authorities.
PSL works closely with each of these organisations to achieve agreed targets for the delivery of a quality visitor experience and the maximisation of significant income streams.
PSL has made investments in each of these attractions. We take on the risk for the delivery to meet operational targets and advise openly for success.
We are actively seeking additional similar attraction management opportunities and welcome ideas.
