The owner of The Head of Steam pub chain is raising a glass to a welcome return to profit after a year impacted by Covid.
Camerons Brewery, which has 34 managed and 43 franchises around the UK, selling beers and ales brewed at its Hartlepool brewery, saw turnover and profit plummet during two full lockdowns.
However, following the lifting of restrictions it was allowed to trade outdoors from April 12 2021, and then indoors from May 17, which significantly helped with its ability to return to generating profits.
