Phoenix's Bridge Leisure bolts on Bowland Fell
Phoenix Equity Partners-backed UK-based holiday park operator Bridge Leisure Parks has bolted on Bowland Fell in Yorkshire.
The deal comes four years after the GP acquired Bridge Leisure in a reported £36m deal from Kings Park Capital.
The group has trebled its number of holiday parks to nine under Phoenix's tenure. It currently operates locations in Cornwall, Scotland and the Peak District; the Bowland Fell acquisition brings its number of sites in Yorkshire to two.
According to Unquote Data, Phoenix is invested in Bridge Leisure via Phoenix Equity Partners 2010, a £450m fund that invests £15-50m across its holding period.
Company
Founded in 2011 on the site of a 17th century inn, Bowland Fell is a holiday park consisting of a pub, static caravans, lodges, a swimming pool and outdoor play areas.
