BGF’s investment into Wear Inns in 2012 was used to acquire 12 new properties, with the business then delivering on its strategy of driving operational improvement in underperforming pubs. In October 2018, Wear Inns was acquired by UK real estate investor Aprirose, generating good returns for all shareholders.

"BGF has been consistent in its support of Wear Inns and has provided not only funding, but also ideas and guidance."
Al Bird, Founder of Wear Inns
