PGL Beyond
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.
Pinnacle Travel Group
Pinnacle Travel Group, a vertically integrated operator with over 40 years of tourism experience, delivers premium travel experiences across Western Australia. Its portfolio includes leading ferry services to Rottnest Island, award-winning coach tours, and seasonal adventure products.
Pinnacle Travel Group engaged Nash Advisory to assist with the strategic acquisition of Great Escape Charter Company, a luxury small-ship cruise operator in the Kimberley region. This acquisition complements Pinnacle’s existing ownership of Kimberley Quest, bringing together two of the region’s most respected expedition cruising brands.
Founded in 1999, Great Escape has built a strong reputation for exceptional service and bespoke small-group experiences. While continuing to operate independently, Great Escape will now benefit from Pinnacle’s shared services platform across marketing, sales, finance, HR and ICT, further strengthening Pinnacle’s operational base in Broome.
The transaction was led by Kieran Ellis of Nash Advisory.
Kincumber Nautical Village
Kincumber Nautical Village is one of Australia’s largest Residential Land Lease Communities (RLLCs), comprising 363 sites on the New South Wales Central Coast, one of the nation’s fastest-growing retirement regions. The Village offers an affordable and desirable lifestyle, just minutes from local shops, cafés, restaurants, and the beaches of MacMasters, Copacabana, and Avoca.
RLLCs are a rapidly growing sector in Australia, meeting strong demand for affordable housing in attractive coastal and regional locations.
The owners of Kincumber Nautical Village engaged Nash Advisory to lead the divestment of the business. The transaction was completed in 2025 following a competitive process. The business ultimately acquired by Hampshire Property Group.
The transaction was led by Thomas Butler, supported by Kieran Ellis, Harry Bahr, and Jock Mitchell.

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.
