PGL Beyond, owned by Ares Management, is the United Kingdom’s largest provider of outdoor education. The company operates leading school camps and activity programs across the United Kingdom and France.
In Australia, PGL owned and operated three large-scale camp facilities, welcoming more than 40,000 guests annually. These camps cater to a diverse range of groups, including schools, religious organisations, and sporting associations, with the capacity to accommodate over 1,000 guests at any given time.
The shareholders of PGL Beyond engaged Nash Advisory to manage the divestment of its Australian operations, following a strategic decision by PGL Beyond to focus on its European operations and brand portfolio. The sale encompassed three well-established sites in prime regional locations, offering significant growth potential within the outdoor education and experiential learning sector.
PGL Beyond’s Australian facilities and operations were ultimately acquired by The Great Aussie Bush Camp, a portfolio company owned by MA Financial and FinCap.
The transaction was led by Thomas Butler and Kieran Ellis, with support from Jock Mitchell.
The Great Aussie Bush Camp is the largest privately owned school camp operator in Australia and is forecast to accommodate over 63,000 school students from all regions of NSW in FY24. The business operates from two prime freehold locations including Tea Gardens in the NSW Hunter region, and Kincumber located in the Central Coast. It also has one leasehold camp located at Lake Macquarie which was opened in early 2023.
The Great Aussie Bush Camp (“GABC”) engaged Nash Advisory to run a process for the sale of up to 100% of the business in April 2022 and were able to guide the owners through a complex sale process during uncertain economic times that involved many sophisticated parties. The transaction was led by Thomas Butler, who was supported by Kieran Ellis.
The Great Aussie Bush Camp was sold to FinCap and MA Financial in November 2023.
Plain English Foundation is Australia’s leading provider of written communication training services for professionals. Nash Advisory was appointed to conduct a strategic review of the business in 2021 before commencing a formal sale process in 2022. Nash identified a number of suitable acquirers of the business, ran a competitive sale process, and in August 2022 Arowana and its portfolio company EdventureCo completed the acquisition of the business. The transaction was managed by Sean O'Neill.
