Major UK pub chain shuts 60 branches today as it looks to complete sale

All branches will be closed today 

BrewDog will close all bars and pubs due to licensing laws, while the bosses confirmed to staff that it will hold a series of “all-hands” meetings Monday.

The closures were confirmed by CEO James Taylor, as the firm a fortnight ago announced that consultants had been drafted in post-the company struggling to turn a profit in recent years.

“We appreciate this is an unsettling time for everyone, and we want to ensure that all colleagues have the opportunity to hear directly from us about what happens next”, it said in a widely circulated email sent to staff by the chief executive.

“We will therefore be holding a series of company-wide All Hands calls tomorrow (Monday) for all employees across the whole business. These will be scheduled tomorrow”, it added.

“To enable everyone to attend, and to comply with licensing issues arising from an anticipated change of ownership, we have taken the decision that none of our bars will open tomorrow (Monday). All sites will remain closed for the day”, the email went on.

Consultants AlixPartners had been drafted in after the company struggled to turn a profit in recent years, while a BrewDog spokesman confirmed the news but provided no further comment.
