Camper
& Nicholsons International are delighted to announce that the company is
now under new ownership. The company has been acquired by Colosseum Services
SA, an investment vehicle of a Swiss-based family office.
The
transaction was originated by Brook Hazelton, former CEO of Phillips, the
international art auction house, and Eric de Saintdo, ex-CEO of Camper &
Nicholsons International and of the Festival International de la Plaisance (now
Cannes Yachting Festival). In early 2014, based on their personal relationship,
they partnered with Colosseum Services in order to secure the financial backing
necessary to complete the acquisition and provide the resources enabling the
company to enhance its leadership position at the forefront of the yachting
industry.
Camper
& Nicholsons International's C.O.O Laurent Perignon commented:
"Despite the turmoil of the global financial crisis, Camper &
Nicholsons International has always remained solid, which demonstrates the
strength of our business and brand. We are now delighted to have new investors
committed to growing and developing the Camper & Nicholsons International
brand into the future. In particular it is pleasing that our new shareholders
have a long and proud history, sharing the same outlook and values that have
made Camper & Nicholsons the standard in superyacht brokerage and
management services. We look forward to taking our organisation to even greater
heights in the coming years and to demonstrating that ultimately good customer
service, integrity and honesty are the values that superyacht owners
appreciate."
