Andy Wenlock, chief executive of Gordon Ramsay Restaurants, said: “Lion Capital shares our passion for delivering world-class culinary experiences, and with their partnership and hospitality sector expertise, we’re well-positioned to accelerate our expansion on a global scale.
Lion Capital will provide new funding into the firm after first striking a deal in 2019 to invest 100 million dollars (£79.4 million) to take a 50% stake in his North America business.
Gordon Ramsay is merging his UK and US restaurant businesses in a deal which will bring fresh private equity investment into the celebrity chef’s firm.
The celebrity chef’s restaurant business was launched in 1998 and has expanded to now include 37 restaurants in the UK, 35 in the US and 22 in other countries.
Mr Ramsay said: “This is an exciting new chapter for our business, building on over five years of collaboration with Lion Capital.
