Pubs stick to formula

Pub chain JD Wetherspoon plans to create 10 000 new jobs in a major expansion over the next five years. But few of them will be for designers.

A company spokesman says that despite a planned tripling of the number of pubs it operates ‘there won’t be any drastic changes’ in design. He says freelance designer Shuna Le Moines will continue to carry out the majority of design work.
