The news of the restructure comes after Greene King revealed plans for a new £40m brewery in Bury St Edmunds, due to open by 2027.

The pub chain currently operates out of its Westgate Brewery site, from which it has produced cask ales since it was founded in 1799.

“We have made strong progress on our business and cultural transformation journey,” added the spokesperson.

“Now is the right time to move into the next phase.

“A restructure of central support functions is necessary for the business to thrive for a sustainable future in these challenging times and be best placed to delight customers and deliver outstanding experiences.”
