Industry:
Education
Sub sector:
Outdoor adventure and education camps

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.

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.

What our clients say

Working with Nash was an absolute pleasure. They were at all times completely responsible and accountable to everything that we needed. Their strong financial acumen was incredibly important throughout the whole process. It was really important that they were able to truly articulate the value of the business in its current state and also look and really delve into the potential future alternate uses for the business…We were really happy with the interest that Nash generated. So we had multiple seriously interested parties, which created that competitive tension that you really need in a deal and was able to achieve the outcome that we wanted and that we expected.
