MHA’s corporate finance team has advised River Capital on a significant seven-figure investment in Infinium Group Limited, a leading provider of digital infrastructure services to the UK holiday park and leisure sector.
The investment will be used to support the scaling of Infinium’s next-generation EDGE platform and accelerate nationwide growth. It comprises a combined package of equity funding from River Capital’s North West Equity Fund alongside mezzanine debt from the newly launched River Capital Mezzanine Fund.
Founded in 2002 by CEO Peter Miles and CTO Dan Massey, Infinium has established itself as a trusted specialist designer, installer and operator of complex Wi-Fi networks for holiday home and lodge parks across the United Kingdom. With a 23-year track record, the Preston-based company serves major operators in a sector where reliable internet access has become an essential utility for guests.
MHA provided financial and tax due diligence services to River Capital to support the transaction. The team was led by Rowan Porter, Transactional Services Director, and Michael Spencer, Tax Partner.
The investment by River Capital will support the national rollout of Infinium’s innovative EDGE solution, which introduces a fully managed, direct-to-van Wi-Fi service operated by Infinium.
This new model provides a cost-effective rental solution, enabling park operators to outsource a critical and operationally complex service while removing upfront capital and infrastructure costs, as well as any additional operational burden.
With over 5,000 holiday and lodge parks nationwide, providing approximately 438,000 pitches nationally, the UK market presents a substantial opportunity for Infinium’s services and EDGE product.
Mark Borzomato, CEO of River Capital, commented:
“Infinium is exactly the type of established, sector-specialist business we seek to support. Under the direction of Peter and Dan, the company has built a solid reputation over more than two decades, demonstrating deep technical expertise and strong customer relationships in a niche market. Customer feedback as part of our commercial due diligence was exceptional.”
"The EDGE solution addresses a clear market opportunity and positions Infinium to capture growth across a broader segment of holiday park operators. We are excited and look forward to working with Peter, Dan and the team.”
Rowan Porter, Transactional Services Director, MHA, said:
“This significant investment by River Capital will offer Infinium the additional resources and expertise to support its next phase of growth.
“We’re proud to have worked with the River Capital team to help facilitate this important transaction which provides an exciting opportunity for the Infinium team to roll out a product capable of transforming the visitor WiFi experience at holiday parks across the UK.”
As part of the investment, Andrew Peters, former Chief Executive of Telefonica UK has joined the Board as Chair, and Mark Evans, Group Finance Director at leisure operators Bourne Leisure and Warner Hotels respectively has joined to provide additional support to the finance function.
