In a strategic move to sharpen its focus on the pub sector, Marston's PLC has announced the divestiture of its 40% stake in the brewing joint venture, Carlsberg Marston's Limited (CMBC), to a subsidiary of Carlsberg A/S for a substantial £206 million in cash. This transaction aligns with Marston's objective to transform into a pub-centric enterprise, shedding non-core brewing assets to bolster its presence in the competitive UK pub market.
