As we enter the final quarter of 2011, the economic outlook continues to be highly uncertain. Nevertheless, at RJD we believe there are still attractive deals to be done and we remain keen to
invest further in the services and leisure sectors, particularly those sub-sectors that we feel will be best positioned to take advantage of market recovery.
Here's a round up of our activity over the last few months:

Verdant Leisure |
|
|
RJD was delighted to provide portfolio company Verdant Leisure with further funding in July to allow it to make its first bolt-on acquisition. Verdant is an owner-operator of holiday parks with an existing portfolio of two well established parks situated in South East Scotland. These have been complemented by the acquisition of Viewfield Manor, a holiday park located a few miles inland from the Ayrshire Coast.
RJD first invested in Verdant in September 2010, backing a highly experienced leisure sector management team in a management buy-in of Dunham Leisure. The team have been rigorously selective in reviewing the many acquisition opportunities that have come their way since the buy-in and singled out Viewfield Manor, a 298 static pitch site, as a well located park offering clear operational improvement and growth opportunities.

Having backed the Verdant Leisure team in a platform deal, we are delighted to see them start to implement their buy and build strategy by making their first acquisition. The existing Verdant parks have performed strongly since the buy-in. Viewfield Manor is an excellent strategic fit with the business and the team have a well established reputation for adding significant value to the assets they acquire.

Intrinsic Technology |
|

In July, RJD backed the £30 million buyout of Intrinsic Technology, a provider of IT and unified communications solutions and services. The buyout was led by Chief Executive, Mike Mason, an experienced IT and telecommunications executive who was brought into the business towards the end of 2009, together with his operational team.
Intrinsic is based in Haydock, Lancashire and was founded in 1999. Since then, it has grown consistently to become one of the leading converged communication and IT solutions providers in the UK, with offices in the City of London, Thames Valley, Glasgow and Haydock, and over 50 field-based engineers.
Intrinsic designs, supplies and implements voice, data and virtualised environments and provides ongoing contracted maintenance and managed services for a range of customers in both the private and public sectors.
