[Archived] Venky's selling to Thwaites


Recommended Posts

According to today's LT (sorry but don't know how to post a link) the V's are in talks to sell to Thwaites.

Thwaites are looking to build a new craft brewery on Ewood Park (they have already had positive talks with BwD Council) and build a new smaller multi-use 20,000 capacity ground close to junction 5 of the M65.

Thwaites are selling their company to Marston for 25.1 million pounds deal.

Not the story in the LT.

Thwaites are (were) moving next to the A59 at Mellor across from BAe

So according to that Marston's will own the main brands like Wainwright and Bomber but Thwaites will continue to make it's own craft beers at the new place near Mellor?

So in theory they have sold Wainwright and Bomber for £25.1m

That Thwaites/Marstons story is just bizarre. Hope it's not a sick April 1st joke but, then again, I hope it is.

Selling off their best selling products, which will generate the most production and distribution volume? Another kick in the teeth for Lancashire workers: 150 of whom will (hopefully) find themselves as Marston's employees. For how long will those jobs remain in Blackburn.

Feels like its been April Fools Day ever since I heard about Ronaldinho, Beckham, Champions League, Allardyce potted, classless moron, Salgado can't play, Roberts can't play, Nelsen is injured, Nzonzi won't play, Samba won't play, Robinson can't play, Dunn can't play, the new Rooney, the new Irwin, that tackle, and the very best of them all.....

Thwaites was/is leaving Blackburn anyway for the Ribble Valley.

Nope it's Balderstone thus in the Ribble Valley council area. South Ribble only covers the airfield and a small part of the Bae buildings.

Hence one of our sites smoking shelters only got permission 2 years after the South Ribble ones got erected

Smoking shelters are now drug dens and you think it is perfectly acceptable that Captain Hanley gets tanked up all week. Entertaining stuff. :0

Correct apart from the 'all' being replaced by 'once or twice'.

Anyway surely I'm right? No one can deny that nicotine is an addictive substance and that most smokers are nicotine addicts to one level or another. Smoking booths are where they go to feed their addiction. How about heroin booths? How about cocaine or crystal meth booths? The ONLY difference is that nicotine is still legal for the time being.
