WORCESTERSHIRE-based dating agency Attractive Partners has changed hands in a deal overseen by Dudley law firm Hawkins Hatton.
The agency has been bought by Manex Leisure which has plans to grow the business organically and through further acquisitions.
Liz Fogerty, the founder and previous owner of Attractive Partners, will be staying on in the business.
Based in Alcester near Evesham, Attractive Partners employs 18 staff and has a database of 6,000 clients.
A member of the Association of British Introduction Agencies, the firm offers an introduction service for professional men and women using a confidential selective process.
Under the new ownership, Attractive Partners will be headed up by Ben Charlton who runs Manex’s leisure division.
He said: “Attractive Partners has built an enviable reputation for the personal approach it takes to helping its clients find companionship and long term relationships.
“We intend to build on these strengths and are looking forward to working with Liz whose experience and understanding of the introduction agency business is invaluable.”
Colin Rodrigues, corporate partner of Hawkins Hatton and lead legal adviser to Manex, added: “We were delighted to have played a lead role in bringing this deal to a successful completion.
“The acquisition is a great fit for Manex which is an entrepreneurial company with ambitious growth plans for the future.”
