Bridgepoint makes 3x money on Virgin Active

Bridgepoint first acquired its stake in February 2002 when it agreed a £110m partnership with the group to fund expansion of the chain. Since then the business has doubled the number of clubs it has in the UK, entered the Italian and Spanish markets and increased its portfolio in South Africa.

Following the recent transaction to acquire further clubs from Esporta, Virgin Active has 25 clubs in the UK, 77 clubs in South Africa and 12 clubs in continental Europe. The group has 635,000 members worldwide.
