PROFILE |
 |
For more than 200 years, De Vere Group (formerly Greenalls Group) made a name for itself by brewing beer for legions of Brits, but in 1990 it gave up brewing to concentrate on its pub operations. Then it also gave up the pubs to concentrate on hotels and fitness centers. After selling about 1,250 of its franchised pubs to Japanese investment bank Nomura International in 1999, Greenalls promptly sold the rest of its more than 820 pubs, restaurants, and lodges throughout the UK to rival Scottish & Newcastle. The new company consists of about 17 upscale De Vere Hotels, 10 Village hotel/fitness clubs, and three Greens Health & Fitness Club.
