SSP Group plc (formerly Select Service Partner) is a British restaurant company which runs several restaurant chains around the world as a concessionaire. It is listed on the London Stock Exchange.
History
The business, previously known as Select Service Partners ('SSP'), was originally established in 1961; it was acquired by Compass Group in May 1993 for £72 million.[2] Compass then merged SSP with several other companies it owned, including Travellers Fare, British Rail's former catering division which had been privatised under a management buy-out in 1988 before being bought by Compass in 1992.[3] In 2006 the business was bought by EQT Partners for £1.822 billion.[2] The company was the subject of an initial public offering in 2014.[4]
