Through KBS Corporate’s targeted marketing a thorough research process, the acquirer, a family run trade buyer, Stone Leisure Limited was identified. The acquisition will allow Stone Leisure to develop the business and add to its ongoing success, reflected in nearly 50 years of trading through publications including: Motorhome Monthly and Motorhome and Campervan Magazine, in addition to Cycling World, On Board Windsurfing Magazine, Surf Magazine and Heavy Duty Motorcycle Magazine.
