Multi-site operator Thornbridge & Co — a joint venture between the brewer and Pivovar — has announced positive trading figures for the Christmas period.

The company reported a 29% increase in sales across its bars in York, Birmingham, and Leeds over the busy festive period.

This followed on from strong sales across 2023, which saw the final quarter of the year 22% ahead of the same period in 2022.

Director Jamie Hawksworth described the results as fantastic and a real reflection on the hard work of the operations team and brewery.

“This is a result of a high level of investment in our bars and an educated and unrivalled drinks offering,” he said.

He was also able to announce that there would be further venues opening this year, with two very exciting sites already at head of terms stage.

“Both of these new sites will only enhance what we do and make the business stronger,” he added. “With the excellent people we have, we are really encouraged to attack 2024.”
