Guinness Peat Group was an investment holding company with interests in Europe, Australia and New Zealand.

History

The company, which had been formed as an investment offshoot of the London-based investment bank Guinness Mahon in the 1980s, was acquired by Brierley Investments Limited (a business controlled by Sir Ron Brierley) in 1990.[1] The company's shares were listed on the New Zealand Stock Exchange in 1991, on the London Stock Exchange in 1992 and the Australian Securities Exchange in 1993.[2] In 2000 the company spearheaded a campaign to stop the London Stock Exchange from merging with Germany's Deutsche Börse.[3]

The company, having disposed of its other investments, was renamed after its former subsidiary, Coats, in February 2015.[4]
