Enterprise Inns: the beginning
In 1989 Ted Tuppen and a carefully selected management team founded Enterprise Inns, a lease and tenanted Pub Company that in 1991 bought 386 public houses off Bass Brewery. Mr Tuppen who has on many occasions publically condemned the Government for interfering was quoted as saying to the Venture Magazine, “ Pubs which had previously not been available to outsiders suddenly became available in large quantities. It was a complete false market created by Government interference, and gave me the opportunity to start a new business on which I had no experience at all.” (Saunders,P. 2005)
The Government and lord Young initially triggered this in particular, because the Big Six breweries also owned thousands of the public houses, which permitted vertical integration as you become your own supplier. The Government responded (Monopolies and Mergers Commission) by instructing the large breweries that they would have to sell of part of their estates as they had too much control in this market sector. Lord Young in 1989 decided to cut the brewers pub monopoly and were told in 1992 by the Monopolies and Mergers Committee they were to only have 2000 pubs each or sell their breweries, this was part of the Beer Orders 1989. (Saunders,P. 2005)
