During the IPO, Sarah Willingham, Nightcap’s CEO, said: “To have floated Nightcap during a national lockdown is testament to the strength of our extended team, our advisers and our brokers Allenby Capital, the London Cocktail Club shareholders and the welcome support of our new investors. They have all seen our vision for the future and our determination to help the hospitality sector shine once again. I couldn’t be prouder to be part of this great industry.”
Nightcap intends to take advantage of the premium bar and restaurant locations that are reasonably priced due to the coronavirus pandemic to expand the business model successfully applied by the Londo Cocktail Club.
The company also clarified that its executive team, which is also composed of London cocktail Club’s senior management, has vast experience establishing and running successful businesses within the hospitality industry, which they shall tap in their new venture.
Nightcap will be an exciting stock to watch this year.
