A well-known Scottish brewer, Innis & Gunn, will close after parts of the business were sold out of administration to C&C Group, owner of Tennent’s Lager, for about £4.5 million.

The deal covers the brand name and intellectual property, but the brewery in Perth and taprooms in Glasgow and Edinburgh will close after months of falling sales and rising costs. Around 100 jobs have reportedly been lost, as per The Grocer.

A full statement read: “The Group, like many across the sector, has faced a number of challenges in recent months. The Administrators note that a combination of factors, including a decline in consumer spending and rising cost pressures, has resulted in significant margin and liquidity pressure, meaning the business could no longer continue to trade.

“It is with deep regret that redundancies will need to be made. The Administrators would like to thank all the employees of the Companies for their hard work.

“We will continue to support those affected at this difficult time. A small number of employees have been retained to support the orderly closure of the brewery business and the taprooms.”

BrewDog has also said it will close 38 of its bars, leading to 484 job losses, even after being rescued by a US company, according to the Wandsworth Guardian.

The US firm Tilray Brands, which makes medicinal cannabis and craft beer, bought BrewDog in a £33million deal. The deal included BrewDog’s global brand, its UK brewery, and 11 of its pubs in the UK and Ireland. However, BrewDog’s 18 franchise bars in the UK and other countries will stay open.

Restaurants

1. Tings N Wings

Popular food chain Tings N Wings, which operates three restaurants in England, launched in 2021 and opened its most recent site in 2024. However, a filing in The London Gazette, the UK’s official public record for insolvency notices, confirmed that liquidators were appointed to the business on March 5, 2025.

The filing, published on Wednesday, March 11, shows the company has entered voluntary liquidation, a process in which shareholders decide to wind down a business and sell its assets to repay debts. Tings N Wings has restaurants in St Albans, Stevenage and Clacton-on-Sea.

King Foods, founded in 1994, has entered administration, resulting in more than 40 employees being made redundant. The Aberdeen-based company supplied food to businesses across North-east Scotland and also operated sites in Edinburgh and Stirling. The move follows mounting pressure from rising operating costs and increasing competition in the sector.

Beauty

UK beauty giant Beauty Bay was recently sold to French-owned AA Investments Group. Based in Manchester, the online store sells well-known brands as well as its own range, including skincare and makeup products.

The business entered administration on March 6, 2026, according to a recent notice published in the London Gazette, due to financial difficulties. As part of the sale, all 62 Beauty Bay employees will have their roles transferred to the new owners.

Arron and David Gabbie, founders of Beauty Bay, said: “We would like to say a huge thank you to our brilliant team who have helped to make Beauty Bay everything that it is today. Their commitment and support over the last 27 years have been unwavering, no more so than over these past few weeks.”

Home and Fashion

1. House of Fraser

Darlington’s House of Fraser store closed its doors for good after more than 100 years of trading. The former Binns department store on High Row welcomed its final customers on Sunday, March 8, bringing an end to more than a century of retail history on the town’s high street.

The closure had originally been scheduled for April 2026, but the date was unexpectedly brought forward. The store launched a major closing-down sale before closing for good, drawing crowds of shoppers eager to grab bargains while also saying a final goodbye.

Pagazzi Lighting, a decorative lighting and home accessories retailer founded nearly 45 years ago, has entered administration, leading to the closure of 11 stores across Scotland and northern England and putting dozens of jobs at risk.

Despite its long history, the family-run chain was unable to withstand sustained poor trading and growing financial pressures.
