Fast-growing UK holiday park operator Away Resorts has bought leisure operator Coppergreen in an undisclosed deal.
The Sheffield headquartered business was behind 370 lodges across four parks in Yorkshire, Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire and Scotland - as well as Kenwick Park Hotel near Louth.
It had only been added to the stable in 2018, and now sits with the Hemel Hempstead business backed by CVC Capital Partners.

The deal takes Away’s footprint ro 27 locations, and follows the addition of Aria Resorts in August. Earlier in 2021 the owner of Tattershall Lakes in Lincolnshire had added The Beachcomber, Cleethorpes, Boston West and a site in St Ives, Cornwall.
Carl Castledine, chief executive of Away Resorts, said: "We are delighted to be welcoming Coppergreen to the Away Resorts family to support our ambition of forming the leading UK holiday park provider.
“Coppergreen's prime locations and leadership in sustainability will further enhance our offer as we look to provide perfect holiday destinations for UK holiday makers."
Growth capital investor BGF exits as part of the deal, having backed Coppergreen in 2016.
Away Resorts will now welcome more than 750,000 visitors a year.
David Copley, chief executive at Coppergreen, said: "Away Resorts has a reputation for driving innovation across the industry and is the ideal owner for the business. We look forward to seeing what the team goes on to achieve in its next successful chapter."
