Watt launches bid to buy BrewDog again as co-founder James Watt faces UK data watchdog complaints over outreach to former shareholders in a bid to regain control.
BrewDog’s founder James Watt has tabled a bid to reacquire the Scottish craft beer business he co-founded, via a new firm, Second Best. The move follows Tilray’s rescue of BrewDog earlier this year and the company’s subsequent administration, which closed bars and left investors out of pocket. The ICO is reviewing potential GDPR concerns over shareholder data.
