Executive Summary
Regent Inns plc is an operator of late-night, entertainment-led bars. Regent Inns was founded in 1977 and by 1980 owned and managed six public houses. The business continued to grow throughout the 1980's and in 1988 merged with Lockton Inns, a Business Expansion Scheme company. In March 1990 Regent Inns purchased an additional eleven pubs, increasing the estate at this point to 36 outlets. During the 1990s, it created its market leading Walkabout with its unique Australian theme, extensive sports coverage and live music and entertainment. In 1983 Regent had set up a joint venture with Jongleurs Comedy Clubs initially at Battersea and thereafter at Camden. A joint venture vehicle was later established to run new venues on a profit sharing basis. In August 2000 the company acquired the Jongleurs companies outright affording it a second major high street brand with further growth opportunities.
