JDW’s £5m investment
Managed operator JD Wetherspoon is opening four new pubs this month.
The first, the Fleur-de-Lis, opened in Banbury, Oxon, at the start of the month and was followed by the Woodthorpe Top, in Mapperley, Nottingham, last week.
Two more pubs, the Wallace Hartley, in Colne, Lancashire and the William Robert Loosley, in High Wycombe, Bucks, open at the end of this month. The total investment is estimated to be in excess of £5m.
The Wallace Hartley, named after Colne’s most famous son, the bandmaster of the doomed ocean liner Titanic, will create 35 full and part-time jobs.
It was developed from the site of a former Greek restaurant but previously operated as a Bass managed house, the Kings Head.
