Joseph Holt — Estate Digital Health Report

Pub Health Index v2.0 — 125 Pubs Audited Across 7 Digital Pillars
Prepared August 2026 by PubPostPro
Complimentary Estate Audit

Executive Summary

We audited all 125 Joseph Holt pubs across Greater Manchester using our proprietary Pub Health Index — a 100-point scoring system measuring 7 pillars of digital health using publicly available data only.

The findings are stark: not a single Joseph Holt pub scores above 59/100. Zero pubs reach "Thriving" status. A significant portion of the estate (3 pubs, 2%) sits in Band D — Critical — meaning they are effectively invisible to the digital-first customer who now drives 70%+ of pub discovery.

The strongest performers — The Eagle Inn (Salford), Morning Star (Swinton), The Old Monkey (Manchester) — show what's possible when individual publicans invest in digital. But these are exceptions. The estate average is 52/100, firmly in "At Risk" territory.

This represents a significant untapped opportunity. A coordinated digital programme across the estate could lift 3+ pubs from Critical to Stable within 90 days.
