It’s cheers all round for Inglenook Inns
Inglenook Inns
Inglenook Inns operates a chain of pubs in the North West and Midlands, specialising in the takeover, refurbishment and management of distressed sites.
Pre-COVID, the business had acquired 12 freehold pubs, leasing a further 20 sites and, were managing 17 distressed management appointments. As of July 2020, they had grown to 64 managed and tenanted sites, with a goal to reach 120 by the end of 2022.
After reaching out to Inglenook Inns as part of the local engagement strategy, Santander provided support for the business’s ambitious expansion plans. Alongside the support, Inglenook was able to leverage Santander’s partnership with Elavon, installing Ingenico terminals across the group’s pubs.
We’ve saved time, money and it’s now much easier to install terminals for every new pub we take on.
As a partnership led business, we’re thrilled to have partners like Elavon and Santander behind us.
Choosing to work with them is one of the smartest decisions we’ve made.
