Update: RoyalLife Administration

Good morning,

In November 2023, we wrote to local authorities with sites in their area that were owned by the 29 companies in the Royale Life Group that had gone into administration. We asked that they share a factsheet with residents of the affected sites.

Today, we have written again to inform them that on 22 January the Administrators issued a press release stating that all the affected sites have now been sold to Ambassador Regency Group.

Recognising the ongoing concerns that residents may have about how this affects them and to remind local authorities of their duties, we have sent the updated factsheet attached. This explains briefly what the sale means for affected residents and local authorities and includes some questions and answers to queries we have so far received.

We are also sharing this with you and the Site Licensing Officers Group (SLOG) for information.

I hope this is helpful. If you require any clarification or further information about the factsheet, please do not hesitate to contact me.

 

Kind regards,

Amy Barnett
