Valiant Pub Group revenues rise 63% amid expansion

Valiant Pub Group has announced that its group revenue increased by 63% year-on-year to £29.6m for the financial year ended 30 March 2025, up from £18.2m in the previous year.

Alongside this, the company’s adjusted group EBITDA, post group overhead, turned positive at £0.8m, while its pub EBITDA increased to £5.5m, up from £2.8m, underpinned by disciplined cost control and strategic pricing.

It comes as the company completed 24 new pub acquisitions in FY25, with expansion in the North, Midlands and Wales. It also stated that increasingly its investments have a greater focus on food and rooms contributing to higher average weekly sales.

Furthermore, the company has strengthened its funding position, securing a new £12m facility from Metro Bank, with an additional £14m facility drawn post year-end. This comes alongside its financial backing from strategic partner Njord Partners.

Overall its total committed bank funding now stands at £26m, supporting continued acquisition and refurbishment momentum.

CEO Mark McGinty said: “We are proud of the progress made this year — from expanding our footprint to improving profitability and securing new funding. Our flexible operating model, strong partnerships, and deep community focus have positioned us well for continued growth.”

Arvid Trolle, co-founder of Njord Partners, added: “We are pleased with Valiant’s strong results this year, which clearly demonstrate that our commitment to revitalising community pubs is delivering real success. Building on this momentum, I am confident that the entire Valiant team will continue to achieve great performance and make a meaningful difference in the communities we serve.”
