Recent experience
We recently advised the new owners on the acquisition of Pleasurewood Hills, one of East Anglia’s most popular family attractions. The transaction demonstrated our in-depth understanding of the attractions and leisure sector, as well as our ability to deliver commercially sound advice with local insight and efficiency.
“Matthew and Alistair of R&N were excellent advisors throughout the transaction – very practical and commercial, with vital local knowledge that helped us get this deal over the line. R&N have become an integral part of our team and are now on the journey with us as we look to expand our business portfolio and acquire more parks across the country.”
— Freddy Stokes, Co-Owner of Premier Attractions and Pleasurewood Hills
