A Cardiff-based discovery and booking platform has raised £2.1m – including investment from outdoor adventure firm Zip World – following a deal acted on by Corporate Partner Martyn Davies.
The platform, Lovetovisit.com, the UK’s largest for discovery and booking of ‘things to do’, is looking to launch in the UAE and USA later this year.
This latest investment is expected to help bolster their offering to those looking to book family days out, attractions, experiences and live events. £250,000 came from Zip World, while £600,000 was raised from the company founders. A further £1.5m was raised through corporate and angel investors.
Martyn Davies, who acted for the site with members of the Corporate team, said: “It’s always great to work with people who want to expand and progress their business. This investment will allow the team at to do just that. I wish them all the best with their expansion plans.”
Fed Pereira, CEO of Lovetovisit.com, said: “Martyn and the team were instrumental in making this deal happen. It really felt like they were part of the team in how they took ownership to get it completed.
“With Zip World’s investment we can continue our growth and maximise opportunity in the market at home and internationally.”
