Hodge Provides Investment Loan for Major Pub Portfolio Deal
Hodge Real Estate Finance has provided a commercial investment loan to Brew Propco Limited, a company majority owned by Westbrooke Private Capital, for the acquisition of 83 long leasehold pubs across South and West Wales. The transaction was introduced by Cameron Hayes at specialist capital advisory firm, Arc & Co, who was key in the delivery of this complex transaction. This large-scale portfolio includes many well established and well-known public houses, previously owned and operated by Welsh brewery, Brains, and now leased to Marston's on a 25-year term. Marston's, the UK's fifth-largest pub company, has recently increased its strategic focus on pub operations following the divestment of its share in Carlsberg Marston's Brewing Company in 2024, and returned a robust financial performance during the six months to 29 March 2025. Hodge said this funding arrangement demonstrates its continued appetite for well structured, investment transactions in the leisure and hospitality sector and reaffirms the vital role pubs play as social and economic hubs in Welsh towns and cities. According to the British Beer and Pub Association, pubs contribute more than £26 billion to the UK economy annually and have been experiencing a resurgence in the years following the Covid pandemic. Gareth Davies, Senior Business Development Manager, Real Estate Finance at Hodge, said: 'It has been a pleasure working with Westbrooke Private Capital on this deal and we're proud to have backed a real estate transaction of this scale in Wales, our home and our heartland. Supporting the acquisition of 83 long leasehold pubs across the South and West of the country demonstrates not only our commitment to the leisure and hospitality sector, but our ongoing support for businesses in Wales. Pubs remain a vital part of the social fabric, and we're excited to be part of a deal that continues to bring communities together.' James Lightbody, Head of Real Estate at Westbrooke Private Capital, added: 'We're delighted to complete this transaction with the support of our lending partner, Hodge. We've been involved with this portfolio since its original disposal by Brains in 2021 and this transaction with Hodge allows us to continue to support the sector and those pubs which are cornerstones of their communities in Wales.'

‘A good thing;' NAACP chapter reinstated at local university for third time
A local university has reinstated its National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) after three years of inactivity. [DOWNLOAD: Free WHIO-TV News app for alerts as news breaks] As reported on News Center 7 at 6:00, this is the third time the organization has been reactivated at Central State University. TRENDING STORIES: Dave Chappelle announces 5th year of comedy shows in Yellow Springs' cornfields Public health alert issued for ground beef sold at Whole Foods Man refuses to pay $500 veterinarian fee, strangles his dog Jayda Hodge is president of the Central State University NAACP Chapter. 'This is a good thing. It helps them express themselves. Something we need on this campus, especially with all of the issues regarding DEI and other things,' Hodge said. Hodge is entering her third year at the university and said something has been missing. 'Our history, the different opportunities out there, and just their voice,' Hodge said. Hodge and other students generated interest across campus and with the help of local NAACP officials, they were able to get the university's NAACP chapter certified. 'I do believe we have the right faculty advisor to lead the charge this time,' President of the Dayton Branch NAACP Derrick Foward said. Students elected Assistant Political Science Professor Brittany Brake for chapter advisor. Brake told News Center 7 that she's building this chapter up so it can remain active as members come and go. 'Get students involved in the community and get them engaged in social justice,' Brake said. The chapter is currently preparing fundraisers and events to attract more members in the fall. 'There will be new students, freshmen. A lot of them are going to be interested. However, the minimum is 25 and we're at 36 individuals right now. And it's very exciting,' Hodge said. Hodge hopes the reactivation of the university's NAACP chapter will influence Greene County to create its own. [SIGN UP: WHIO-TV Daily Headlines Newsletter]
