Jennings takeover - Aaarrgh!!!!!!

Though if we're looking at track records - as well as keeping Marston's alive, W&D did close Mansfield a few years ago (quite well-equipped brewery IIRC). cheers MikeMcG

Quite true - but I think that they closed Mansfield as some sort of macho posture when they were threatened with a takeover bid. There are lots of assurances flying around about Jennings and I am inclined to believe them (for the next five years or so, anyway). I think it's unlikely all the Jennings beers will survive, though (drink the Mild now while you can!).

Sadly drink any mild now while you can :-(

W&D may well _say_ that they won't close Jennings, but didn't S&N say they wouldn't close Matthew Brown? Not that I'm equating W&D with S&N (AKA ampersand) god forbid!

We are looking at mounting a similar campaign - same area - only 8 miles away!

How can I get hold of shareholders' names and addresses for direct mailshots?

I am a shareholder myself - does it help?

Don't know if this will help - didn't look any further

Realistically, I am afraid you are pissing in the wind on that one. I suspect W&D know that with family interests plus the Robinson's stake they already have 50% in the bag.

Hmmm, I thought the directors shareholding was actually less than the CAMRA investments holding. Maybe that was misinformation.
