PROFILE |
 |
The Wolverhampton & Dudley Breweries drinks Banks's all the way to the bank. Britain's largest regional brewer, Wolverhampton & Dudley makes beers that include Banks's and Marston's Pedigree. The company owns and operates about 1,800 community pubs, including the Pitcher & Piano and Varsity chains. It is one of the industry's leading consolidators, having purchased its Midland rival Marston, Thompson & Evershed and Nottingham-based Mansfield Brewery. The troubled company put itself up for sale in late 2000, attracting several bidders (a management group led by managing director David Thompson, tenanted pub chain Pubmaster, and entrepreneur Robert Breare, among others). It has since decided to sell 170 of its pubs independently, inlcuding the Pitcher & Piano and Varsity chains.
