Plans to convert to a REIT have been announced by pub group Mitchells & Butlers, who are set to 'actively explore opportunities for managed pub and sector consolidation.'
The group showed a loss of £121m in the last six months to April 12 after serious derivative costs with revenue flat at £995m.
Trading fared better during the first four weeks of the second half of the financial year, with like-for-like sales up 3.4%.
