Paradise Island Adventure Golf, operated by The Brighton Pier Group, has seen revenue increase year-on-year.

The Brighton Pier

Reported revenue as £32m for the 52 weeks to 30 June 2019, up from £31.4m. Group EBITDA after highlighted items was £4.8m, up from £4.4m.

Other highlights for Brighton Pier include the 120th anniversary of the opening of Brighton Palace Pier, in May 2019, a 17 per cent increase in revenue since the upgrade of the restaurant and bars last year, and a 37 per cent boost in its conference and events business.

Anne Ackord, chief executive officer, said: "It was a pleasure to welcome the national tourist boards to the pier to celebrate the 120th anniversary of its opening. The pier has benefited hugely from the new investment in the transformed Horatio's Bar and Palm Court restaurant-but of equal importance has been the continued investment in the structure over the last six years. This continued investment will ensure that this landmark venue will be there for future generations to enjoy for another 120 years.

"The re-opening of our venue in Putney as 'Le Fez' in November last year has been an outstanding success for the Bars Division and the management team at the club. Our new golf site opening at Rushden Lakes, the first since our purchase of Paradise Island Adventure Golf last year, has performed beyond expectations and we are looking forward to our next opening at Drake's Circus in Plymouth later this year.

"I am delighted that the group has delivered growth in both sales and earnings. Trading for the group during the important first two months of the current financial year - July and August 2019 - met budget. Consequently, we remain confident of our prospects."
