The trade investment team at Tennent Caledonian has scooped the prestigious ‘Investor of the Year’ accolade at the annual Deals & Dealmakers Awards held at Glasgow’s Hilton Hotel recently. The Tennent’s team have provided valuable funding of around £20m to support over 150 pub businesses across Scotland for small scale refurbishments and major new business ventures for the leading on-trade operators. A spokesperson for the Deals & Dealmakers Awards said, “Tennent Caledonian is operating in a tough sector and they are working really hard to maintain their client base and work alongside clients as a long term strategic partner, which is not that common. They have been clever with their approach in that they have moved from the old fashioned brewers loans into actually taking some equity.”
