Business Overview
Vexus is exclusively retained to find a buyer for this long established & specialist holiday brand. For over 35 years our clients
have offered holiday tours with their own travel and accommodation in prime sites across the Mediterranean. The business
has very high levels of cashflow due to a large percentage of customers booking up to 18 months in advance. There is
additional growth potential for the business by rolling out their current business model into new geographical catchments.
