Sheila Gaughan is the founder of FairPlay Buying Group and the licensee of The Prince George pub in Thornton Heath.

After years of running her own pub, Sheila saw first hand how independent hospitality businesses were often paying more than they should for the same products and services. Smaller operators rarely had the buying power to negotiate better deals, leaving many at a disadvantage.

In 2020, she founded FairPlay Buying Group to change that.

FairPlay was built on a simple principle. Every hospitality business deserves fair, transparent pricing, regardless of its size. By bringing independent venues together, FairPlay gives members access to competitive supplier agreements, helping them reduce costs and improve profitability.

Today, FairPlay works with trusted suppliers across the hospitality sector, securing exclusive deals on everything from drinks and merchant services to equipment and business essentials. Sheila remains committed to one goal. Helping independent hospitality businesses keep more of what they earn through honest pricing and genuine value.

Our mission is to empower independent businesses by leveling the playing field and promoting transparency and fairness in pricing. Our goal is to provide our members with the best deals available, ensuring they save thousands of pounds on their purchases & services.

We believe that businesses are stronger when they come together, and by joining our buying group, members can access the advantages of collective bargaining power, enabling them to compete more effectively in the market. Our commitment to fairness and transparency ensures that all members receive equal opportunities and benefits, fostering a thriving and equitable business community.
