Expression Capital Partners LLP

The Exclusive Strategic Gateway to the Global Attractions Industry

Who We Are

Founded in 2024 and based in London, Expression Capital Partners LLP is an independent private equity firm uniquely positioned at the intersection of institutional capital and the global leisure sector. We target the rapidly accelerating demand for location-based entertainment (LBE), leveraging a team that doesn’t just study the industry—but was born into it.

The Expression Difference Most private equity firms are generalists competing in crowded public auctions. We do the opposite.

As the exclusive global partner for the International Association of Amusement Parks & Attractions, “IAAPA”, we serve as the vetted arm of a trade body whose members represent $28 billion of the attractions and leisure market—an industry currently valued at over $100 billion worldwide. This “vetted” status grants Expression proprietary, off-market access to the world’s premier LBE assets before they ever reach the open market.

Our Strategy: Scaling Iconic Experiences. Our mission is to maximise value by consolidating and scaling chains of themed LBE experiences in partnership with iconic global brands. We see ourselves as brand builders, partners, and catalysts. We don’t just provide capital; we provide a platform for growth.

Decades of Proven Expertise Our founders and management team bring decades of hands-on experience to the table. We have spent generations securing sites, financing, designing, building, and operating some of the most successful attractions globally.

Beyond capital, our partners benefit from an incentivized board of industry “Titans” and a management team dedicated to operational excellence. At Expression, we provide the resources, the relationships, and the strategic guidance to scale great businesses into global leaders.
