Overview

• BrewDog will close ten UK bars, beginning with its Camden venue on Friday, July 25, and the remaining nine sites on Saturday, July 26.
• A statutory 14-day redundancy consultation will begin, and BrewDog expects to redeploy many affected staff across its network.
• Unite Hospitality criticized the three-day notice period as too brief for a proper redundancy process.
• CEO James Taylor said the venues could not be made commercially viable due to their size, location and mounting cost and regulatory pressures.
• Management said the closures form part of a wider strategy to concentrate resources on high-potential bars and secure long-term sustainability.
