Caffè Nero Group / Paladin investment relationship
Investment described; instrument and stake not specified
Company investment description checked ·
Caffè Nero's board biography describes Paladin Partners as a private equity group with investments including Caffè Nero. Gerry Ford remains the company's stated majority shareholder. The biography does not establish Paladin's stake, instrument or legal chain, so this is disclosed backing. Carlyle, HSBC and Santander's separate 2022 refinancing is debt and is not used as equity-ownership evidence.
