An investment of nearly £40m is set to create more than 1,000 jobs, according to Heineken's UK pubs operator. Two pubs have already been reopened - here's a look at some of the others set to pull pints once again this year.
Heineken is investing £39m in more than 600 of its pubs in the UK - in a move it says will bring 62 back from the dead. The Dutch brewer said the cash injection into its Star Pubs operation will create more than 1,000 jobs. According to Star Pubs, 612 pubs are set to benefit, with refurbishments focusing on 'transforming tired pubs in suburban areas into premium locals' as people commute less to city centres.
'Creating fantastic locals that can accommodate a range of occasions meets this need and helps pubs fulfil their role as vital third spaces where communities can come together.' Some revamps will also include overhauling cellars with new dispensing equipment and measures to improve energy efficiency, such as heating controls, Star said.
