Tom Cobleigh was developed as an independent pub retailer operating in the Midlands, East Yorkshire and Humberside regions. At the time of exit in 1996, it operated some 59 outlets, of which 42 were managed pubs trading under the Tom Cobleigh brand. Many of these pubs, which were purpose-built, larger, "out-of-town" properties, were designed to have wide consumer appeal, offer good value for money and wholesome food in comfortable surroundings. At the time of our first investment in 1992, market analysis clearly confirmed a declining trend in trading through town centre traditional tenanted pub chains. The same analysis suggested strong consumer preference for well-sited, large, managed pubs offering good quality, reasonably priced food. We shared the management team’s vision and strategy for the successful development from scratch of a managed pub retailing business at this time.
