Travellers' Choice awards from TripAdvisor
Escape Hunt is delighted to share the news that all eight of its
UK sites that have been open for longer than 12 months were each
named by TripAdvisor(TM) as a Travellers' Choice Winner. Each year,
TripAdvisor(TM) combs through reviews, ratings and saves from
travellers everywhere and uses the information to award to the very
best. The awards place all our longer standing sites in the top 10%
of attractions worldwide.
We were equally delighted that our newest site at Birmingham
Resorts World, which only opened in December 2019, and is therefore
too new to be eligible for a Traveller's choice award, was ranked
the top attraction in Birmingham and the West Midlands, and number
7 across the whole of the UK.
The awards follow the successful conclusion of our GBP4.3
million fund raising which closed in July 202 and saw a number of
new investors taking an interest in our business. As previously
announced, John Story, a successful entrepreneur and seasoned
investor has invested a 10% stake in Escape Hunt being the largest
non-holder joining the register. John was a seed investor and / or
founder with significant ownership in a number of businesses,
including amongst others; Sportingbet, Neteller, World Gaming,
Fairground Gaming, Zoetic, Blencowe Resources, Ocean Outdoor,
Ideagen, Entertainment One, and Eros Entertainment.
Richard Harpham CEO of Escape Hunt commented; "We are absolutely
delighted to have received these accolades from TripAdvisor(TM)
which are an endorsement of our strategy and a credit to our
hardworking team which has worked tirelessly to enable us to reopen
successfully following the lockdown restrictions. Whilst the
uncertainty from COVID-19 remains, the strong support shown by our
customers, evidenced by the TripAdvisor(TM) scores, coupled with
the confidence shown in the business by our investors gives us
cause for optimism. "
Escape Hunt plc will release its interim results in the final
week of September.
