Famous Brands reins in acquisition pipeline, focuses on growth path

After wrapping up the 2017 financial year with seven successfully integrated acquisitions and a strong financial performance, JSE-listed Famous Brands plans to remain strongly focused on growth in a difficult operating climate. However, while the group remained acquisitive by nature and was receptive to acquisitions, the scale of the acquisition pipeline of the past year is unlikely to be repeated as Famous Brands settles in with a solid platform for expansion and growth, CEO Darren Hele said on Monday.
