S&N in search for pub lessees
Scottish and Newcastle Pub Enterprises (S&NPE) faces a tight deadline for finding lessees for the 364 pubs sold by Spirit in December.
The pubs were bought by property tycoon Robert Tchenguiz for about £345m, with S&NPE taking on the contract to run the properties under lease agreements.
The deadline for lessee applications is 28 February and S&NPE has to have them in place by 8 April, when the pubs will cease to be managed by former owner Spirit.
