Chairman John Rhys, great-grandson of founder Samuel Brain, said the deal would safeguard Wales s biggest brewer and hospitality business as an independent business for generations to come .
He said: We know and trust Marston s to be excellent custodians of our pubs and, whilst this is not a decision we have taken lightly, we are confident that both our pubs and teams will thrive.
