Case studies

Pan European Leisure Project

European resort and hotel group:  A pan European resort, hotel and leisure business with operations in the UK, Portugal, Spain and Tenerife. Providing and operating over 1500 self-catering apartments over 10 resorts.

The advancing age of the principle stakeholder and the diversification of the wider group interest, meant that this part of the business was no longer considered core to the overall group operations and there was a desire to dispose of the business.

Previous attempts to achieve a sale had failed due to the inherent problems and complexities that existed within the group. Successive management teams had failed to tackle the issues and turn around the business.

UK Boutique Portfolio

UK Hotel Group: A chain of hotels comprising of 215 rooms, with associated meeting, conference space, bar and restaurant facilities.

The challenge was to assist an overseas fund to acquire a portfolio of five hotels located around the UK. The hotel had been trading for a number of years. The portfolio had been underperforming for quite a considerable time and in need of updating and modernisation.

Our client was looking to acquire the business with a view to upgrading the hotels, improving performance and exploiting further development opportunities using the land surrounding the hotels.

UK Conference and Banqueting

UK Corporate Hotel: A business hotel, banqueting and conference centre based in UK.

The challenge was to assist a start-up business to further develop its activities. The group had steadily grown to c700 bedrooms, together with considerable conference and banqueting facilities. The properties had been acquired and refurbished into high quality business hotels.
