London, United Kingdom, 10 December 2021 – Zetland Capital Partners LLP, a London based Private Equity firm, today announced that funds it manages have agreed to acquire a portfolio of 37 bingo halls let to Buzz Bingo.
The acquisition, for an undisclosed sum, is one of the largest UK leisure real estate transactions in 2021 and the largest UK bingo real estate transaction in the last few years.
Ahmed Hamdani, Managing Partner at Zetland Capital Partners LLP, said:
“We are excited to have acquired this diverse portfolio of assets, let to one of the major bingo operators in the UK. We have partnered with an experienced team which will enable us to create additional value in this significant leisure estate.”
This is the third major leisure and hospitality investment completed by Zetland Capital in the UK this year.
