The chairman of pub and brewery firm The Liberation Group is to step down.
The Jersey-based parent company of West Country beer and hospitality brand Butcombe said Richard Grainger would leave the business in the summer, after seven “successful” years in the role.
Liberation, which oversees an estate of almost 140 pubs stretching from the Channel Islands to London, said Mr Grainger had led the group through a period of “significant growth”, including its recent combination deal with Cirrus Inns.
