RNS Number : 8582W AIM 17 March 2026
ANNOUNCEMENT TO BE MADE BY THE AIM APPLICANT PRIOR TO ADMISSION IN ACCORDANCE
WITH RULE 2 OF THE AIM RULES FOR COMPANIES ("AIM RULES")
COMPANY NAME:
Vista Parcs Group Ltd ("Vista" or the "Company" or the "Group")
COMPANY REGISTERED OFFICE ADDRESS AND IF DIFFERENT, COMPANY TRADING ADDRESS
(INCLUDING POSTCODES) :
213 Cromford Road,
Langley Mill,
Nottingham,
England,
NG16 4EU
COUNTRY OF INCORPORATION:
England and Wales - 16728222
COMPANY WEBSITE ADDRESS CONTAINING ALL INFORMATION REQUIRED BY AIM RULE 26:
TBC (from admission)
COMPANY BUSINESS (INCLUDING MAIN COUNTRY OF OPERATION) OR, IN THE CASE OF AN
INVESTING COMPANY, DETAILS OF ITS INVESTING POLICY). IF THE ADMISSION IS
SOUGHT AS A RESULT OF A REVERSE TAKE-OVER UNDER RULE 14, THIS SHOULD BE
STATED:
Vista Parcs Group Ltd (to be reregistered as a plc prior to Admission) is a
newly incorporated entity proposing to acquire a portfolio of 13 UK-based
holiday and residential parks currently owned by Barney Group 2 Ltd ("BG2")
and operated by Baslow Parks Ltd ("Baslow"). Concurrently with the
acquisition, Vista intends to seek admission of its enlarged issued share
capital to trading on AIM.
Baslow operates a portfolio of residential and holiday parks across the UK,
comprising pitches occupied by manufactured homes, lodges and static caravans,
as well as sites with significant planning potential. 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. An independent RICS Red Book valuation was recently
undertaken by Knight Frank LLP indicating an aggregate portfolio value of
approximately £80.5 million.
The portfolio offers substantial growth potential and, within existing
planning permissions, the Directors believe there is also scope for
approximately 2.3x growth in the number of occupied pitches, driven by a more
focused manufactured home sales and marketing effort, with professionalisation
of site operations, targeted capital investment and operational optimisation.
In addition, there is space for a further 922 potential pitches within the
future planning pipeline, identified by the Company for possible future
development as a holiday or residential pitch, but which do not currently
benefit from full planning permission or an equivalent consent for use as a
pitch..
The Acquisition consideration is expected to be satisfied by the payment by
the Company of a cash consideration, financed through a combination of the
proceeds of issue of the placing shares to be received on Admission and by the
Company's committed debt facilities with HSBC, as well as by the issue of the
consideration shares.
Following Admission, the Group's proposed strategy is to accelerate unit sales
across a greater proportion of its sites and to enhance asset performance
through professional site management, targeted investment in infrastructure
and amenities, planning and development optimisation, and the deployment of
technology enabled systems to improve customer experience and operational
efficiency. As part of its sales and marketing strategy, the Group intends to
offer a part exchange facility on residential park homes through established,
independent third-party providers in order to assist prospective customers in
facilitating the transaction process and reducing barriers to purchase where
appropriate. The Directors will also consider accretive bolt on acquisitions
where appropriate.
The Company will be led by a Board having over 100 years of combined sector
experience.
