Zip World sold for £100 million as it plans new attractions in 2025

Zip World has been sold to Dolphin Capital for £100 million, allowing for further expansion. Founder Sean Taylor will keep a minority stake in the company, which has grown significantly since its founding in 2013. The sale follows Zip World's recent announcement of closing its Conwy site while preparing to open Zip World London at the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park on February 14. The company plans to launch another site in Elterwater, Cumbria, this year. Previously, Zip World was valued at £45 million in 2018 after selling a 40% stake to LDC. The company has since expanded to eight sites and diversified its offerings, including accommodations and new attractions.
