The Barkby Group PLC ( (GB:ROAD) ) has shared an update.
Roadside Real Estate PLC plans to raise about £20 million via a placing and CEO-led subscription at 60 pence per share to fund the £17.8 million acquisition of Gardner Retail Ltd and provide additional working capital. Gardner Retail’s six premium petrol forecourts in Southwest England, selling around 22 million litres of fuel and generating £33.9 million of revenue in FY25, are expected to be immediately earnings accretive and deepen Roadside’s presence in energy forecourts.
Separately, Roadside has agreed to acquire D.A. Roberts Fuels Limited for a gross £13.6 million, funded from existing cash and proceeds from an expected £14 million put-option exercise on its Cambridge Sleep Sciences stake. The DAR site, a single high-volume Shropshire forecourt with bulk fuel distribution and £80.2 million in FY25 revenue, is also expected to be immediately earnings accretive and enhance Roadside’s commercial leverage in fuel supply negotiations while supporting its UK forecourt roll-up strategy.
