Cains goes in administration

Aug 7 2008

Around 1,000 jobs were under threat at Cains Beer Company today after the brewer and pubs group went into administration.

The future of the group’s historic Cains brewery in Liverpool and its 100 pubs now hang in the balance.

But administrators PricewaterhouseCoopers said they were working with staff and landlords to ensure the brewery and pubs remain open while it seeks a buyer for the business.
