AN Addingham pub could re-open as early as May 17 after it was acquired in a deal to purchase six pubs previously operated by the Seafood Pub Company. The Fleece in Addingham is one of the venues bought by Home Counties-based operator, The Oakman Group, in a move that will save around 150 jobs. Oakman has acquired six venues - including The Fleece Inn in Addingham - from the administrators and Seafood Pub will now become their third brand. Joycelyn Neve, the founder and former MD of Seafood Pub Company, will join The Oakman Group as the MD of this new division.
