A CHANNEL Islands hospitality group has announced its first expansion since its formation last year.

The Liberation Group has acquired the business and freehold of the Red Onion, a bar and restaurant in St Peter Port, Guernsey, from the Christie Group.

The Liberation Group was created from the management buy-out of a portfolio that included The Jersey Brewery, Bucktrouts and 65 pubs and bars across the Channel Islands.

The Red Onion is the Liberation Group’s 22nd establishment in Guernsey and its first acquisition in the Channel Islands since the initial deal.
