Heineken has announced plans to create more than 700 jobs across the UK as part of a £42 million investment plan into its pub operation.
The brewing giant said that 660 pubs – more than a quarter of its Star Pubs & Bars venue business – will be upgraded as part of the move. It comes as the UK hospitality industry targets a strong period of recovery in 2022 after two years hampered by pandemic regulations.
Heineken UK said that 137 of its pubs will receive a makeover costing at least £125,000 as it continues to refresh its property estate. The company said the latest cash injection will bring the total investment in refurbishing its pubs to £115 million since the pandemic first hit.
