The Company and Our Investment

Convivial London Pubs operates a group of eight freehold, wet-led managed pubs in the Greater London area. These include The Botanist in Kew and the Tea Clipper in Mayfair.

Octopus has participated in 3 rounds of investment during which more than £16m was raised.

 

"Octopus have been both highly active and supportive in their role as one of the principle investors in Convivial London Pubs. The added value of dealing with Octopus has been their pragmatic advice and pro-active involvement, their will to help the company and in particular their capacity to share suppliers and synergies across their invested interests. One good example has been their help in providing a financial advisor which has enabled us to roll out a new employee pension and benefits scheme. We value our relationship with Octopus and continue to seek opportunities to broaden our working relationship with them."
