Warrington-based Bravo Inns has acquired two town centre pubs from the administrators of Calco Pubs, taking its portfolio to 40 sites.
Joining Bravo's community wet-led pub estate are Starkie Arms, Padiham, and the Bradford Arms, Morecambe (pictured).
Managing director Ken Buckley has stated that Bravo will be investing heavily in the new acquisitions to bring them up to the company's standards.
Bravo Inns currently operates pubs across North Cheshire, Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Cumbria.
