Pub operator and brewer Marston’s has announced further measures to strengthen its balance sheet in a bid to weather the ongoing novel coronavirus emergency.
Marston’s has rebuked the Campaign for Real Ale’s (CAMRA) claims the pubco and brewer is doing too little to financially support its tenants and licensees during the coronavirus lockdown, The Morning Advertiser can reveal.
Marston’s has attempted to draw a line under a dispute with a tenant, insisting the matter was now closed following an investigation by the pubs code adjudicator (PCA), according to The Morning Advertiser's sister title MCA.
Brewer and pub operator Marston’s has been judged to have broken pubs code legislation following what the pubs code adjudicator (PCA) has described as ‘significantly deficient’ treatment of one of its licensees.
Staff support organisation the Licensed Trade Charity (LTC) has praised two pub chains for their work promoting the charity’s grants to their employees.
Against a backdrop of ‘modest growth’, pub operator and brewer Marston’s has outlined plans to wipe out £200m in net debt quicker than initially planned.
