Further to new tenanted pub company, Hawthorn Leisure's acquisition of 275 public houses from Greene King, the group has purchased a further 88 tenanted and leased public houses from R&L.
The group's management team is led by its Chief Executive Gerry Carroll. Gerry was most recently a managing director at Enterprise Inns with responsibility for approximately 4,000 pubs, and has had a successful career in leisure and hospitality, holding a number of senior management positions, since joining Whitbread in 1985.
Hawthorn Leisure has partnered with Matthew Clark, a leading national drinks wholesaler, to provide beer, wine, spirits and minerals supply and distribution services and with County Estate Pubs to provide back office support.
