James Sinclair’s Partyman group buys ‘party pieces’
In May 2023, I bought a business which was owned by the parents of Catherine, Princess of Wales.
Party Pieces, a party supplies company, was founded by Carole and Michael Middleton in 1987. Sadly, in recent years, the business had struggled and it went into administration.
My company, Teddy Tastic Bear Co Ltd, bought the business and agreed to take on its 12 employees.
The national press covered the major development as it involved close ties to the Royal Family.
Check out my video on how I bought the business here:
