LWC Drinks has completed the acquisition of Wigan Beer Company in a deal that will also see the drinks wholesaler’s take on Keegan’s operation in Holyhead.
For the remainder of 2026, both Wigan Beer and Keegan’s will continue to operate from their existing sites, ensuring continuity for customers and colleagues. From 2027, LWC will look to integrate the Wigan Beer operation into its Knowsley and Leyland depots. Keegan’s will continue to operate from its Holyhead site for the foreseeable future.
The deal forms part of a strategy from LWC to strengthening its service, reach and operational capacity across the UK, with the deal helping it better serve the North West and North Wales region.
