Young & Co's Brewery PLC is a British hospitality company that owns and operates a large estate of premium pubs, inns, and hotels. Founded in 1831 and headquartered in London, the company operates primarily in London and the South of England. Young's business model is centered on the ownership and management of freehold and leasehold pub properties, generating revenue through the sale of drinks, food, and overnight accommodation. The company operates through its managed houses segment, which includes over 270 pubs, with a portion of these offering boutique hotel rooms. In 2024, Young's significantly expanded its footprint by acquiring the City Pub Group, adding over 50 premium pubs to its portfolio. Although the company retains 'Brewery' in its name due to its historic Ram Brewery in Wandsworth, Young's divested its brewing operations in 2011 to focus exclusively on operating pubs and hotels. Today, it is a pure-play hospitality and leisure property business, differentiating itself through high-quality, well-invested venues, a strong food offering, and premium accommodation.
