“We’re delighted to have played a major role in the extension at the Newbury,” said Chris Welham, managing director of Spirit Leased. “The Newbury is a truly outstanding venue that is immensely popular within its community. Now, thanks to the extension, more people will be able to enjoy this top-notch venue.”
