Acquisition of Windlesham Golf Club by the Lumley Family
Haslers Corporate Finance LLP, on behalf of the Lumley family, has acquired the 44 % minority interests in Windlesham Golf Management Limited, the management and trading business of Windlesham Golf Club, Bagshot, Surrey.
The Lumley family who has held a significant stake in the business since it was founded, is looking to develop the potential for the golf course and the leisure opportunities associated with it and its land, whilst also optimising family wealth structure and inheritance planning.
