Even as I drank what I thought might be my last half of Pennycomequick stout, news was emerging that a buyer has been found for famous Cornish brewery Skinner’s.
Three months after the business ceased trading, joint administrators Bishop Fleming LLP confirmed that a sale of the company’s business and assets had been agreed, subject to contract.
Luke Venner, of Bishop Fleming, said: “As joint administrator, we are delighted to secure the sale of the company’s business and assets, subject to contract, which will realise significant funds for the benefit of company creditors.” He said there had been a nationwide marketing campaign and advanced discussions with a number of parties.
The idenity of the buyer is not known.
