We’re ahead of our acquisition plan, with four new sites acquired in the past 12 months and with terms agreed on a further two sites, we’re on track to reach our target of 15 sites before the end of the year.
“We’ve completed major refurbishment projects at the White Hart in Boston, Royal Oak in Welshpool and Three Swans in Market Harborough, delivering over 50% return on capital invested and will continue to roll out our extensive investment programme across the estate.”
