Established in 2003, Petersham Group are specialist leisure business consultants, with an enviable track record of appraisal, development and operation of leisure and tourism projects around the world. Projects range from visitor attractions to sports venues; historic properties to museums; aquaria to FECs and mixed use developments; and from hotels and restaurants to resorts.

Our focus

As advisors to the Experience Economy, every assignment we are asked to undertake is different and demands a different mix of skills. The majority of our assignments fall into one of the followingWe categories:

  • Project management of attraction & leisure development;
  • Concept developing and testing
  • Options appraisals;
  • Feasibility Studies
  • Business planning & financial modeling;
  • Master planning advice
  • Funding advice & assistance (including validation of business propositions);
  • Operational consultancy

Where we work

We work for local & national government bodies, commercial enterprises, developers and operators of museums and visitor attractions, architects, designers and a range of other entities across the private, public and not-for-profit sectors, and our work is truly international.

Over the last few years we have undertaken projects in the USA, Vietnam, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Malaysia, China, Kenya and Mauritius, and extensively across the UK & Continental Europe — a broad and dynamic base from which to observe emerging trends and to identify the benchmarks of success (and failure).
