Quick service restaurant Java Coffee House says it will work towards getting ready for a potential listing on the Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE) should shareholders deem this to be a viable route for the company’s future growth.

Java is set to change ownership again following the announcement by London-based investment firm, Actis, that it will be divesting from the business, four years after it acquired the venture from Dubai-based private equity fund, Abraaj Group.
