Mark Davies, CEO at Hawthorn, said: “All of the pubs which are fully let have been very well operated by Everards and its business owners and we share a strong community ethos with Everards that makes this a seamless transaction for both parties. 

“It’s been great to get to know Stephen Gould and the Everards team through  the transaction and to get a deal done during lockdown.”

Stephen Gould said that Everards had “presented 14 pubs as an acquisition opportunity” to the Hawthorn team “following a review of our pub estate”.

He added: “The whole team at Hawthorn have been a delight to work with and I know that our business owners will be in good hands working with a company with similar values to our own. 

“The deal positions Everards well for continued investment into our pub estate, acquisitions and Everards Meadows, our 90-acre leisure and tourism development in Leicestershire.”
