Robinsons Brewery, sixth-generation family brewers based in Stockport has announced a significant increase in its investment spend with their business partners.
In the first three months of 2024, the brewery has so far supported nine sites across its estate.
With £1.6 million of investment going into the pub partner estate, this represents a three-fold increase on 2023 levels and is seen as a sign of more long-term post pandemic confidence by Robinsons Brewery and its business partners.
In total £2.3 million was spent, including three managed investments, meaning an average of just under £200,000 per pub, which keeps the brewery on track to support around 10% of their 250-pub estate each year.
Commenting on the increase in investment in its pub estate, William Robinson, Director (Pub Division) said,
“Our overall investment plan has not changed but what we are seeing this year is a significant increase in spend alongside our business partners. The significant increase reflects our dedication to nurturing and developing long-term partnerships and ensuring each of our pubs can be the best in the community it serves. We have a promising investment plan for quarter 2 of 2024 and look forward to announcing further updates towards the end of June.”
