Transformational merger is the latest step in an exciting journeyParkdean Resorts

• Parkdean Resorts is a leading UK operator of caravan holiday parks with 35,000 pitches across 72 sites

• Strategy was to restructure the senior debt Electra held in Park Resorts in order to take equity control, and then to grow the business organically and through acquisition. This was delivered through a 2013 refinancing, together with the acquisitions of South Lakeland Parks, Southview and Manor Parks and Summerfields Holiday Park (known as the “Park Resorts Group”)

• In November 2015, the Park Resorts Group merged with Parkdean Holidays to create Parkdean Resorts - an enlarged company with an enterprise value of £960 million and more than £100 million EBITDA. The business is now focussed on a number of growth investment programmes as well as on post-merger integration
