Founded in 1834, Marston's PLC has evolved from a historic regional brewer into a focused pub and hospitality operator. The company's extensive portfolio includes community pubs, premium bars, and accommodation venues operating under various formats to appeal to a broad consumer base. Its business model is divided into managed, partnership (franchised), and tenanted/leased pub operations. In July 2024, Marston's completed the sale of its 40% stake in the Carlsberg Marston's Brewing Company joint venture, marking its exit from brewing after 190 years. Today, the company focuses entirely on driving cash-generative growth across its UK pub estate, supported by ancillary operations in property management and telecommunications.
