Telegraph And Argus: 100 Jobs Lost as Innis & Gunn Taprooms Close

telegraph and argus — 11: 35 a. m. ET — One hundred employees have lost their jobs and sites across Scotland will shut after Innis & Gunn confirmed its taprooms and brewery will permanently close, leaving a small number of staff retained only to support the wind-down of the business.

Telegraph And Argus: Innis & Gunn staff face 100 redundancies

One hundred people have been made redundant, with administrators saying a “small number of employees” will be kept on to support the orderly closure of the brewery business and taprooms. Sites across Scotland will close permanently, directly affecting local workers and customers who used the taprooms.

C&C Group buys Innis & Gunn brand in pre-packaged sale

C&C Group purchased the Innis & Gunn brand in a pre-packaged sale for £4. 5 million, and joint administrators sold certain assets to the buyer immediately following their appointment. The transaction removed the brand from administration while the brewery business and taprooms were set to close.

FTI Consulting, administrators and founder Dougal Sharp named in closure documents

FTI Consulting, acting in the administrators’ capacity, said redundancies were necessary and that administrators would continue to support those affected. Joint administrators Christopher Jon Bennett, Oliver Stuart Wright and Samuel Alexander Ballinger handled the sale process. Innis & Gunn founder and master brewer Dougal Sharp is listed in the company’s materials related to the administration.

telegraph and argus appears in this report to identify the local coverage angle and to reflect the regional interest in the closures; local patrons and former staff will now seek information on refunds, returns or outstanding orders through the channels Innis & Gunn has left open.

If C&C Group chooses to alter the planned closures or reinstate sites, some staff positions could be restored and the status of affected taprooms would change.
