Wadworth earlier today confirmed the exchange of contracts for the sale of 21 pubs to Liberation Group but did not disclose the financial details of the transaction.

Jonathan Lawson, CEO, Liberation Group commented: “We are delighted to be welcoming the teams of these fantastic pubs to join Liberation Group and Butcombe Brewing Co.

“We have worked closely with Wadworth to ensure that the sites we’re bringing into the Liberation Group family are the best fit for us and that the transition is smooth and successful.

“With the support of Caledonia, our ultimate shareholder, we look forward to maximising the opportunities we believe these sites present via a blended approach to the offer and environment of these pubs delivered by their great teams.”

Chairman of Wadworth, Charles Bartholomew said of the deal: “I can confirm that we have exchanged contracts to sell 21 pubs to the Liberation Group.
