Zipworld Sold in £100 Million Deal
Written by Gavin on 27th January 2025
Adventure company Zip World has been sold in a deal that values the business at more than £100 million.
The Llanberis-based firm was established by Sean Taylor, who retains a minority stake alongside new owners Dolphin Capital.
Zip World has eight sites across Wales and England, including Zip World Tower.
Chief executive Andrew Hudson said the deal would “kickstart” plans to expand the company.
In February, it will open Zip World London at the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, and later this year it will open a new site in Elterwater, Cumbria.
The BBC reports that it is also planning to upgrade existing sites and open more Zip World attractions across the UK.
New investors, Dolphin Capital, already own Snowcentres Ltd, which operates indoor snow sports activities.
Zip World CEO Andrew Hudson said:
“This is just the beginning of what we hope will be a big year.“Investment is key for us, not only in our new sites but also in adding value to our existing locations.“We’re thrilled to be opening in London and expanding our offering to communities across the UK.”
