Specialist corporate events and teambuilding company Eventurous Ltd has been bought by Garlands Leisure Ltd. The cost of the acquisition has not been disclosed.

Eventurous offers a range of team challenge events including indoor conference energisers, mock crime scene investigations, culinary experiences and creative events, as well as outdoor activities such as country pursuits, It’s a Knockout and iPad Treasure Hunts.   

The acquisition complements the offering of Garlands Corporate, by providing an off–site solution for companies holding events at venues other than Mythe Barn or Mythe Farm, where Garlands Corporate primarily operates. 

Eventurous will continue to trade as a separate entity.

“We are really excited to have the Eventurous team here with us, they have such a wealth of knowledge and experience working at venues all over the country,” said Joanna Garland, director of Garlands Leisure Ltd, who believes that the acquisition has strengthened their position in the market and has boosted capacity and capability for both Garlands Corporate and Eventurous.

The directors selling Eventurous, Chris Peacock, Andrew Deakin and Dean Ashley, two of whom are also directors of Conference Care Ltd, see the transaction as the opportunity to invest more time into their venue finding business to take it to the next level.

Peacock said: “In recent years Conference Care has cemented its position in the market as one of the leading venue finding companies, and we are looking forward to continuing our path to become the first-choice agent.” 

Joe and Joanna Garland, directors of Garlands Leisure Ltd, who also own award-winning luxury wedding venue Mythe Barn, which is located at the same site, have praised the directors of Eventurous for enabling a smooth and successful handover.  

Joe Garland adds: “There’s an exciting future ahead for both Eventurous and Garlands Corporate. As we align resources to work across both companies, we are looking to expand our overall business offering to cover a much broader range of specialist activities for corporate events and teambuilding activities. There is an obvious, natural synergy between the two companies – it was the right time to buy and the purchasing decision was an easy choice to make.” 

The company has recently relocated and is now based on-site with Garlands Leisure Ltd at Mythe Farm in Atherstone, Leicestershire.
