Welcome Break for sale

Leisure Report, Dec, 2007

Bahrain-based private equity company Investcorp has put Welcome Break up for sale for around 500m [pounds sterling], the Financial Times reports. The motorway service operator is the second biggest in the UK behind Mote. In February this year, Investcorp recapitalised the company with 300m [pounds sterling], valuing the business at 500m [pounds sterling].

Any buyer would not need to renegotiate the recapitalisation finance, which was designed to be transferable to a new owner. Welcome Break's 23 sites continue to generate good cashflow and earnings in the year to September were 40m [pounds sterling].
