Lancashire brewer Daniel Thwaites has unveiled plans to move from its site in the centre of Blackburn.

The company will sell its current brewery, built in 1966 and in need of modernization, to Sainsbury’s, which hopes to redevelop the land for supermarket use.

Thwaites is looking to identify a new site close to the town that will give the business more room for flexibility and expansion. It is anticipated that the plans will take three–four years to complete.
