Pub and brewery firm The Liberation Group has expanded by completing a combination deal with Cirrus Inns.
The transaction will see Heinken-owned Cirrus’ 22 pubs across the South East and South West - including sites in Dorset, Gloucestershire and Somerset - join the Liberation portfolio, which now covers an area spanning the Channel Islands to London.
Liberation, the Jersey-based parent company of West Country brewery and pub brand Butcombe, previously told BusinessLive it was planning to buy up more venues across the region this year, as part of an “ambitious investment programme” following the Covid-19 pandemic.
