BGF injects £4.5m into Bulldog Hotel Group

The fresh capital will enable Bulldog to acquire further properties, as the company sets out on a £20m expansion plan across the country. The group is looking to double the number of properties it operates within the next four years.

BGF has been investing steadily so far this year, matching an equally active end of 2014. The group inked four deals in March, matching the monthly performance seen in both January and December. February may have been quieter, but BGF still deployed capital across two transactions.

Company

Based in Boston, the company generates a £10m annual turnover.
