Cockwell Inn Group flotation - finally!

sairy.gamp

Amid all the press speculation in recent weeks regarding the possible Cockwell flotation, It's appears that it is now definately to go ahead. Contact details for obtaining a prospectus are still a bit vague but I have managed to find an address to write to for an application pack. It is:
Ms. Ivy Keeps, The Cockwell Inn, Tillit, Herts.
No post code I'm afraid (i did write it down but then could not read my own writing!).
I have spoken to the registrar, and she says it will be a matter of all being patient as, due to social distancing, there is only her physically in the office to deal with all the applications. She did assure me she would do her level best to ensure all applicants would be attended to though. She asked me not to post the Tel.no. on any forum as her hands would be too full to answer the phone on top of everything else.
This is a great opportunity for us smaller chaps to get in before the Big Boys for once. Dont miss out.

Would the  Big Boys be interested ?

With an opportunity of this calibre I would be most surprised if they were not. Speed is of the essence in my view - the 'early bird catches the worm' and all that.

Oh deary me, is it that time again... 

I thought that Lisa Lykes was the proprietor of that establishment anyway...

I have never heard of them. I tried googling to see all the press speculation but searching for "Cockwell flotation" and "Cockwell Inn Group" just brought me back here. This thread looks like an attempt to generate some interest. It's not very professional. It almost looks desperate.

There will be quite a few pubs that are struggling to stay afloat at the moment and, while I have a huge amount of sympathy for the good pubs that are struggling, that sympathy does not extend to a wish to risk my hard earned savings.

I just heard a loud 'whooooooosh!' as this whole thread went over your head...

(Hint: check the date!!!)

No, Ms. Lykes did in fact leave the company acrimoniously last year citing overwork. Ms. Keeps has now taken on the mantle and is doing her best. She does seem a nice lady who is well able to deal with pressure.
