## From the administrators' statement

The Company was incorporated on 5 April 2012. The Company is a majority owned subsidiary of Purity Brewing Company Limited (“Purity”). Purity is a wholly owned subsidiary of Purity Brewing Group Limited (“PBGL”), together with Purity and the Company (‘the Group”). The Company operates as a bar and kitchen located in central Birmingham, employing approximately 16 people.

Pure Bar had traded well and was expected to generate a small profit for 2023, despite the impact of train strikes and nearby roadworks impacting footfall. However, the Company had a short-term funding requirement that it did not have the liquidity to meet.
