Context
Administrative/Biographical history:
Jude Hanbury and Company Limited was acquired by Whitbread and Company Limited in 1929. Jude Hanbury had originally approached Whitbread with the offer of the sale of some public houses in Kent. The company had recently moved its brewery to Canterbury and was looking for extra capital to pay for the Mackeson brewery in Hythe.
Whitbread instead proposed that Jude Hanbury along with Mackeson should merge with Leney and Sons. Whitbread provided the finance and kept a majority share with Jude Hanbury's management kept in place to run it, although they were later removed by Whitbread managing director Nevile who took control of the group himself. The merger guaranteed that the pubs would stock Whitbread beer in addition to their own brands.
At Whitbread the group were known as the Kent breweries.
