The newly formed Leisure Division, which included
                 restaurants, casinos, public houses, discos and the newly

                 acquired Trend Holidays, were also told to expand. The

                 division duly expanded in almost all directions with
                 casinos throughout the country, a public house chain in

                 England and the notable Barracuda Club in London for

                 £11.5 million.


                 The Hotel Division also developed the earlier acquisitions

                 in the Aviemore area of Scotland, the total investment

                 amounted to £20 million. There was Stakis’s first

                 international acquisition, namely a hotel in Spain.


                 The Property Division, which made a £4 million profit in

                 1989, also expanded with the purchase of the freehold
                 and long lease interest in hotels that Stakis already

                 operated. This was going to save £1 million in the first

                 year and £1.45 million in the second year, but at a cost of

                 £14.5 million.
