On 23rd June 2015 Jo Churchill MP welcomed news that Bury St Edmunds based brewer Greene King acquired Spirit Pub Company for £800m.
Mrs Churchill said: “This deal makes Greene King the UK’s leading managed pub operator, employing 40,000 people in 3,100 pubs across the country, half of whom are younger than 25.
The pub and brewing industry adds £126.2million to the local economy, and employs 2,471 people across my Bury St Edmunds constituency. As one of the largest businesses and employers, I look forward to discussing with Greene King what further benefits this acquisition will bring to the area.”
