Acquisition of Lovely Pubs

 

Fuller, Smith & Turner P.L.C. (“Fuller’s” or “the Company”), the premium pubs and hotels business, today announces it has completed the purchase of Lovely Pubs, a collection of seven fantastic pubs in Warwickshire, six of which are freehold, for a total consideration of £22.5 million.

 

The pubs, which include one with 16 boutique bedrooms, are a highly complementary addition to Fuller’s existing portfolio of pubs and hotels in neighbouring counties. They align perfectly with the Company’s vision and strategy, offering outstanding service and a premium food and drink offer.

 

In the last reported financial year, the group being acquired generated EBITDA of £3.1 million. The acquisition is expected to be earnings enhancing in the first full year and will be funded from existing banking facilities. CBRE acted as advisors on the deal.

 

Chief Executive Simon Emeny said: “I’m delighted to be announcing the acquisition of Lovely Pubs. These seven outstanding sites are a perfect fit with our existing estate both in terms of their premium operational style and their geographical location. We are looking forward to welcoming these pubs, and their teams, to the Fuller’s family.”
