One of the literary world’s most prestigious prizes is looking for a sponsor after Whitbread pulled out of the awards it has funded since 1971. The company, once Britain’s best-known brewer, has decided literature does not fit with its status as a wide-ranging leisure conglomerate.More from Richard Brooks in The Times.
The decision is a blow to the literary world as the Whitbread is rivalled only by the Booker in terms of prestige and influence.
