Offers Invited
Hilco is pleased to present the opportunity to acquire a portfolio of registered trade marks held by Inspiring Learning Services Limited (In Liquidation) (“Inspiring Learning” or the “Company”), comprising long-established brand names operating within the UK educational travel, residential activity and holiday camp sectors, on behalf of the Joint Liquidators of the Company, Jason Elliott and Craig Johns of Cowgills Limited.
Inspiring Learning formed part of a well-established education travel and outdoor learning group operating across multiple segments of the UK schools and youth activities market. The group delivered a range of education-led services, including curriculum-linked school trips, residential outdoor education and adventure programmes, and school holiday camps.
The brands were developed to address different audiences and use cases within this market. Kingswood and Camp Beaumont operated as distinct, consumer-facing brands, becoming familiar names among schools, parents and education decision-makers. Alongside these, Inspiring Learning and Education Travel Group functioned as overarching identities, supporting the credibility and cohesion of the group’s offering across the education travel and outdoor learning sector. Collectively, the brands benefitted from sustained use in a market characterised by repeat bookings, institutional customers and a high degree of trust and brand recognition.
The Company’s trade marks now offer an acquirer the opportunity to secure established brand rights with clear relevance to the education travel and outdoor learning sector, without the time, cost and risk associated with developing new brands from scratch, supporting re-entry into the UK education travel market, expansion or diversification by existing operators, the creation of differentiated sub-brands within a broader group, or the consolidation of brand ownership within the sector.
