Agora was parent of companies including Leisure World UK – previously known as Galaxy Gaming – and Caesar’s World, with an estate including major gaming centres in Lewisham and Aldershot. It went into administration a year ago.

Administrator and Baker Tilly partner David Hudson said: “A sale has been secured for the entire trading portfolio, which will safeguard 440 jobs and enable the entire estate to continue to trade under new ownership.”

Colin White, a partner in property agency Edward Symmons, which worked with Baker Tilly on selling Agora, said: “We were pleased to secure a sale within the year in what has been a depressed market. This is a clear sign of the strong market interest for such substantial leisure investment opportunities; 180 parties registered interest in the portfolio and some 35 offers were made for purchase.”
