The Inn Collection Group, one of the North East's most prominent hospitality operators, has secured a monumental £125 million investment package that will accelerate its ambitious expansion strategy across Northern England and North Wales.
The substantial funding, arranged through prominent lenders HSBC UK and OakNorth, represents a major vote of confidence in the region's hospitality sector and the company's distinctive 'pub with rooms' concept.
Strategic Growth Across Northern Heartlands
This significant capital injection will fuel the group's strategic acquisition plan, targeting new properties throughout the North of England and into North Wales. The investment comes at a pivotal moment for the hospitality industry as it continues its post-pandemic recovery.
Managing Director of The Inn Collection Group expressed tremendous enthusiasm about the opportunities this funding unlocks: "This investment marks an exciting new chapter for our business. It enables us to pursue our growth strategy with confidence, bringing our unique hospitality offering to more communities across the North."
Job Creation and Economic Boost
The expansion is expected to generate substantial employment opportunities across the regions where new acquisitions will be developed. Each new property typically creates between 50-80 jobs, representing a significant economic boost for local communities.
The funding package demonstrates strong financial market confidence in both the company's business model and the resilience of the Northern hospitality market. The Inn Collection Group has built its reputation on transforming historic properties into premium drinking and dining destinations with quality accommodation.
A Proven Track Record of Success
With existing establishments spanning from Northumberland to County Durham, and recent expansion into Yorkshire and Lancashire, the group has consistently demonstrated its ability to revitalise historic pubs and inns while preserving their unique character.
The £125 million investment will enable the company to:
- Accelerate property acquisitions in target regions
- Enhance existing venues with refurbishment programmes
- Create hundreds of new hospitality jobs
- Boost regional tourism infrastructure
- Expand their distinctive 'pub with rooms' concept
This development positions The Inn Collection Group as one of the fastest-growing hospitality operators in Northern England, with the financial backing to match its ambitious growth targets in the coming years.
