We love a story that comes full circle – and the Fairgame journey has been nothing short of a fairground fairy tale.
From shaping the very first business plan, securing finance from BGF & HSBC, bringing to life a brilliantly bonkers format that has reimagined the fairground experience for a new generation – Tamweel has been right there in the front cart, buckled in for every twist and turn.
And now, that ride hits a new peak with the sale of Fairgame to Tenpin Entertainment (part of Ten Entertainment Ltd) – the UK’s leading bowling and family entertainment operator, backed by Dallas-based Trive Capital (a private equity investor with $8 billion of regulatory assets under management).
Tamweel acted as sell-side advisor to the Fairgame shareholders, with Akin Gump providing legal counsel.
Richard Hilton, Co-Founder of Fairgame, said: “I’m immensely proud of what Fairgame has achieved. It’s been an unforgettable journey creating and launching this amazing business. Partnering with Tenpin opens the door to rapid, ambitious growth, and I’m excited for this next chapter in the story. The Tamweel team have advised me on multiple transactions over many years, firstly with Gymbox and now with Fairgame. Their support has been invaluable, their advice wise and their dedication unwavering.”
