Beacon Park Boats Sold Out of Administration, Preserving 30 Jobs in Llangattock
30 jobs have been saved at Beacon Park Boats, a luxury canal boat holiday provider based in Llangattock, after the company was successfully sold out of administration. The firm operates along the Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal and offers hundreds of holiday experiences for visitors each summer.
Beacon Park Boats struggled financially following the Covid-19 pandemic, leading to significant debts and a challenging recovery period. To address these issues, the company sought the expertise of PKF Littlejohn Advisory in late 2025. Despite exploring various options, including a “time to pay” arrangement with HMRC, the company ultimately had to enter administration.
Joint administrators Oliver Collinge and Paul Williams from PKF Littlejohn were appointed to oversee the process. After a brief period of trading in administration, during which additional funding was secured, all summer holiday bookings were honoured, ensuring that staff remained employed during peak season.
The business was sold to Timeout Escapes Limited in August, allowing it to continue operations and maintain its workforce. Law firm Walker Morris advised the joint administrators, while Gordon Brothers provided interim funding and valuation advice.
Paul Reeves, a partner at Littlejohn Advisory UK LLP, expressed confidence in Beacon Park Boats’ potential to thrive, highlighting the company’s strong fundamentals and its appeal to holidaymakers wishing to explore the stunning Welsh valleys. He acknowledged the importance of preserving the workforce’s industrial knowledge during the transition.
This successful rescue of Beacon Park Boats ensures that both employees and customers can continue to enjoy the firm’s canal boat experiences for years to come.
