Speaking yesterday, Simon Emeny, Fuller’s executive chairman, said: “I am delighted to be announcing this transaction today. We have always maintained a disciplined policy of only acquiring the right assets at the right price – and they must always be estate enhancing.”
He added the new pubs would be a good fit for the firm’s existing operations, saying: “This collection of 10 outstanding pubs, located in geographies where we already have a strong presence and knowledge of the customer, are a perfect complement to our existing estate.”
