Drake & Company played a critical role in our acquisition of The Hare & Hounds in Newbury.

Jeremy Drake sourced the site, which wasn't on the market and thereafter supporting the process (which had some major bumps and some sharp turns in the road) and ultimately concluded with a successful acquisition.

We continue to work closely with the team and look forward to many more successful deals together.

Warren has been an active agent for me since 2016 and has introduced me to a variety of new sites within my region. This has allowed me to open a variety of new stores in a number of different forms; mixed use developments, business acquisitions, sites within new large mixed use schemes and standalone new developments and conversions.

He has been excellent at building and managing relationships with Pub Companies, private landlords, retailers and regional and national house builders.

His proactive approach to canvassing has allowed me to identify new store opportunities before they have come to market and he has been a key agent in helping Co-op increase their presence within the SE of England.

We have had the pleasure of working with Drake & Company for a number of years and have formed a strong strategic relationship.

Warren and the team provide a truly excellent level of service that few others in the market provide. We have every confidence they will deliver and unlock new opportunities for Co-op due to their extensive network and ability to form new relationships.

Drake & Company’s involvement in every stage of the acquisition process allows us to deliver new stores in a timely manner.
