Welcome to CGA’s 2019 Future of Finance seminar. Change is the only constant, the saying goes—and that’s undoubtedly true for the restaurant, pub and bar sector in 2019. From consumer behaviour to investor confidence to Brexit, operators have never faced so many uncertainties and unknowns. It’s our job today to help you navigate through this complex and shifting landscape, in the company of our skilled analysts and expert speakers. With the help of CGA’s deep data, we’ll be taking a close look in particular at the ups and downs of the restaurant sector lately—and mapping out the parts of the country where new openings and more sales can still be found. With caution about investment, the big question is where to put your cash and where to avoid. At a time of great political flux too, UKHospitality’s Kate Nicholls is on hand to cut through confusion around Brexit, leadership and continuing EU legislation, even if the UK parliament is log-jammed. Beyond all the changes and challenges, a big theme of today is positivity. We’ll be discussing how brands like Wasabi and Farmer J continue to secure investment, and finishing with a panel of top leaders telling us how they adapt to change through innovation and fresh thinking—and looking at new avenues for investment. All this, plus a head to head interview with Loungers CEO Nick Collins, fresh from his company’s decision to float and with views on the role of the stock market in hospitality. And once the seminar is finished, we hope you will stay on with us to discuss what we’ve learned over a drink or two. It’s a tough market out there all right, but as we’ll see today, there’s still great potential to grow a business. Thanks for being with us, and enjoy your afternoon.

Welcome from Peter Martin, Vice President, CGA

Decline and fall? What does a deep-dive into CGA’s multiple data sources tell us about what’s really happening in the restaurant sector? Where are the pinch points, which segments have potential for growth and which are on the slide? Are pubs really stealing casual dining’s clothes? Karl Chessell, Food and Retail Director, CGA
14:35
Investing in next-generation brands Why are on-the-go brands like Wasabi and Farmer J winning over financial backers while some food and drink groups struggle? How is the property market adjusting to the new trading realities? Panel discussion with Mike Cheung, Analyst, Capdesia Trevor Watson, Director, Davis Coffer Lyons
15.05 Head to Head interview: Loungers goes to market Loungers’ CEO Nick Collins on the group’s decision to IPO and what that means for the future of the business, how the process went, what he and the senior team learned, how things have changed, and whether the stock market should be home for more hospitality operators. In conversation with Peter Martin Nick Collins, Chief Executive, Loungers plc 15.35
Coffee break
Session Two 16.00 Mapping out the market Which towns and cities still have headroom for growth? And how can operators gain an insight into these markets from afar? Graeme Loudon discusses will discuss the impact of local con sumer preferences on the growth potential for brands in today’s competitive market and asks what data tools are needed to track and predict these shifts in the market. Graeme Loudon, Commercial Director, CGA 16.30 Politics in flux: what it means for hospitality With Brexit uncertainty as strong as ever, EU regulations still coming on stream and a new prime minister taking power this summer, it’s hard for businesses to plan with any confidence. So how to cut through the political and legislative confusion? Kate Nicholls, CEO, UKHospitality 17.00 Time to act differently A panel of business leaders discuss the financial drivers that are making them do things differently – at least part of the time. How is performance data changing their lives? Maurice Abboudi, CEO, K10 and Million Pound Menu investor Mark Derry, Executive Chairman, Brasserie Bar Co. Debra Ward, Managing Director, Camm & Hooper

Turn information into insight. Headlines in the hospitality sector continue to be dominated by extremes ranging from CVA restructurings to record breaking M&A valuations. Interest in deals from private equity, trade and international buyers remain strong, albeit with a more careful focus on what sets a brand apart. At a time when the contrast between winners and losers has never been so stark, sector focussed advisers who truly understand your business may just give you a competitive edge. Experience the power of being understood. Experience RSM | rsmuk.com
