Navigator is pleased to announce the acquisition of Evolve Sport Limited, a sports development and coaching business.

It is anticipated that Navigator, along with Evolve, will now be in a leading position to deliver a wider range of marketing activities for brands focusing on the family audience. The synergy between both sets of Directors has already developed a broader portfolio of marketing rights for sponsors to acquire in the immediate future.

Evolve was established in February 2003 by Jon Bell and John Bishop, who are both sports development specialists, with 15 years collective experience in the industry, both in the UK and USA. Evolve delivers junior sports coaching programmes, in-curricular physical education support and coach recruitment services, and works closely with schools, clubs, charities and Local Education Authorities.

Both Navigator and Evolve will gain significantly from the new relationship, with the former able to bring to market several marketing concepts and activities sooner than otherwise possible. The enhanced infrastructure will also support Navigator’s growth plans and its aim to be a major player in the key areas of schools, sport, and healthy lifestyle.

The initial consideration for the acquisition comprises £22,500 in cash and £22,500 of new ordinary shares in Real Affinity plc, Navigator’s parent company. Further deferred consideration to a maximum of £330,000 based on future profit performance, may be payable. The further deferred consideration shall be satisfied by the issue of new ordinary shares in Real Affinity plc.
