The fast-growing operator of wet-led community pubs changed hands as part of an £80m management buyout. Amber now aims to spend £6m to £7m during the next four years on expansion, with Baer stating the deal was a “positive signal for wet-led pubs”. The company reported a bumper festive period and had high hopes for this summer’s World Cup. The pubco also took part in Tax Parity Day and reported a healthy increase in sales.
