We look forward to working closely with TPT’s established client base to maximise commercial opportunities and further enhance the overall passenger experience at stations across the UK.”
TPT Managing Director Deborah Richards, added: “Amey will enable TPT to offer a more comprehensive service to our customers on both estate management and consulting sides of the business. We are eager to enhance the quality and scope of services that can be provided.”Amey’s existing consultancy business has over 3,000 strategists, modellers, engineering design and asset management professionals. The acquisition broadens Amey’s expertise in the market and allows clients to make smart, informed decisions about their assets to not only maximise income opportunities, but also helps improve the overall passenger experience. There are a number of opportunities to utilise the expertise from TPT and enhance Amey’s existing services across airports, highways and light rail sectors."
The shareholders of Travel Point Trading were advised by James Pugh.
* Deborah is now a non-executive director at CapEQ.
“Our business was very niche and our exit required a carefully thought through bespoke approach. James managed the sale and the shareholders with calm and definite advice throughout.
We achieved an excellent result that matched the differing exit needs of all 6 shareholders and ensured the business could continue to grow and succeed in the new corporate environment.
There is no doubt whatsoever that James enhanced every aspect to the often difficult technical and emotional journey that we as business owners had embarked upon.”
