Hawthorn eyes IPO as standalone business
Led by Mark Davies, CEO at 700-strong pub group, the move would mark the return of a tenanted and leased pub company to the London market

Hawthorn, a community pub company, has announced its intentions to list on the London stock exchange as a standalone quoted business.
NewRiver REIT, Hawthorn’s owner, claimed that the group’s IPO decision will follow a strategic review that would see the pub group launched as a separate company.
