- Molson Coors is set to close Sharp’s Brewery in Cornwall and its UK national contact centre in Cardiff by the end of the year, placing approximately 200 jobs at risk.
- The decision to shut the Cornish brewery, acquired 15 years ago, was made after deeming the site financially unsustainable despite exploring alternative options.
- The closure of the Cardiff contact centre is attributed to a significant shift in customer behaviour, with almost 90 per cent of orders now being placed digitally.
- Molson Coors stated it remains committed to the Sharp's brand and is exploring potential production partnerships for its products, including Doom Bar beer.
- These proposed changes, currently subject to consultation, are part of a broader strategy by Molson Coors to unlock efficiencies and cost-savings across its operations.
