Up to 1,300 jobs could be saved in a deal that will see pub operator Marston s take over the running of around 150 pubs in Wales from Brains.
Brains said recent trading restrictions in Wales - aimed at limiting the spread of the coronavirus pandemic - had put huge pressure on the 138-year-old business.
