Vista Parcs Group Ltd, a new entity looking to acquire 13 UK-based holiday and residential parks, on Tuesday announced is planning an initial public offering on London’s AIM market. The Nottingham, England-based company is yet to confirm the number of shares it will issue, as well as the issue price, but said that it is targeting to be admitted by the end of the month. It has partnered with London-based Zeus Capital which will acts as adviser and broker in the process. Vista Parcs is aiming to buy the properties owned by Barney Group 2 Ltd and operated by Baslow Parks Ltd, which Knight Frank LLP independently valuated at an approximate aggregate value of £80.5 million. It said the business benefits from multiple recurring revenue streams, including pitch fees and rentals, which are complemented by the sale of residential and holiday units and hire fleet operations. Vista Parcs said the portfolio ‘offers substantial growth potential’ and allows for more than trebling the number of occupied pitches within existing planning permissions, ‘driven by a more focused manufactured home sales and marketing effort, with professionalisation of site operations, targeted capital investment and operational optimisation’. That is on top of space for further 922 potential pitches identified for possible future development which do not currently hold planning permission or consents. Vista Parcs anticipates to pay for the acquisition with a mix of debt, thanks to facilities provided by HSBC, and proceeds from the listing. According to the regulatory filing, Vista’s proposed strategy is to accelerate unit sales, and offer a part exchange facility on residential park homes through third party providers. Current member of the board is Daniel Fletcher who serves as chief operating officer. In addition, the proposed board comprises of James Voce as chief executive officer, Trevor Smith as chief financial officer and David Boden as non-executive chair. Copyright 2026 Alliance News Ltd.
