Chief Investment Officer to leave Oakman Group


Steven Kenee is to step down from his role as Chief Investment Officer at award-winning pub company, Oakman Group PLC.

Steven (pictured left) joined the Oakman three years ago from investment firm, Downing LLP. He had grown to admire Oakman whilst managing Downing’s investment into the business.

Founder and Executive Chairman, Peter Borg-Neal (right) commented, “During his three years with Oakman, Steve made a huge contribution to our business.

'Among his many achievements was helping us to navigate through the shock waves of lockdown – delivering a successful equity fund raise and securing a Coronavirus Business Interruption Loan.

'Latterly, he also successful negotiated our near £30m secured debt with Cynergy, delivered our first ever FCA regulated retail raise and managed the process of Oakman Group becoming a Plc.”

Steven said, “I am immensely proud of my time at Oakman. It is a business that I have always held in very high regard. I have learnt a lot from working with the team over the past three years and I wish them all the very best for the future.”
