Around 150 jobs have been saved after a deal was struck to sell six pubs previously operated by Lancashire-headquartered Seafood Pub Company.

The Oakman Group has snapped up the venues from the administrators and Seafood Pub will now become its third brand.

Joycelyn Neve, the founder and former managing director of Seafood Pub Company, will join The Oakman Group as the managing director of the new division.

The move is part of the group's aim to have 40 pubs in its portfolio by the end of 2021.

Ms Neve said: "I have been a huge admirer of The Oakman Group, its ethos and its ambition.

"They have acquired the cream of the Seafood Pub Company sites and I’m confident that, with the Oakman team’s support, we will prove to be enormously successful.

"My expectation at this stage is that all six pubs will reopen on May 17th and we will immediately start work on putting our new teams together."

The six sites that Oakman has acquired are Alma Inn, Colne, Derby Arms, Longridge, Farmers Arms, Great Eccleston, Fenwick Arms, Claughton, Fleece Inn, Addingham, and Forest Inn, Fence.
