Alcuin is pleased to announce the formation of the High Road Restaurant Group, following the merger of Koh with the Buenos Aires (“BA”), a successful chain of Argentine steak restaurants.
Steve Hill and Gareth Lloyd-Jones both join the board of High Road to head the enlarged group as Executive Chairman and CEO, respectively. Steve and Gareth will be working with Andy Lennox of Koh and Massimo Osella of BA, who have been instrumental in building the brands to date and remain in their roles to drive further growth.
Grace Henderson-Londoño, co-founder of Alcuin Capital Partners LLP and investor in the High Road Group, said “The merger of Koh and BA brings together two strong and profitable restaurant brands. We look forward to working with Andy, Massimo, and the rest of the teams at BA and Koh to take advantage of the opportunities that currently exist in the sector. As part of a larger group, both brands will benefit from strategic and operational synergies, as well as the experience and financial backing that we, Gareth and Steve can bring to grow value in the group.”
