Symmetry Corporate Finance Advises on the Sale of Atkin & Thyme Ltd

Symmetry Corporate Finance is proud to announce its role advising the shareholders of Atkin & Thyme Ltd on the sale of the business to Leisuregrow Products Ltd. This transaction brings together two complementary brands in the UK home and outdoor living market, creating a stronger combined offer across furniture, lighting, and home accessories.

Founded in 2013 and headquartered in Hertfordshire, Atkin & Thyme has built a distinguished reputation as a premium home interiors and lifestyle brand. The company curates and wholesales a carefully selected range of furniture and home accessories — handpicked from artisan makers worldwide, with a particular strength in sourcing from India. Known for its quality craftsmanship, distinctive aesthetic, and commitment to limited-volume, design-led collections, Atkin & Thyme has grown a loyal following among independent retailers and online customers alike.

Leisuregrow, established in 1999 and also based in Hertfordshire, is a well-established, family-run group of brands specialising in outdoor living products. Supplying thousands of product lines to trade, retail, and distributors across the UK, Ireland, and parts of Europe, Leisuregrow is widely recognised as an innovator in the outdoor and garden living sector, with a portfolio that includes LG Outdoor, Grillstream, and NOMA Garden Lighting.

The acquisition strengthens Leisuregrow's position in the broader home and lifestyle space, adding an indoor furniture and accessories capability that complements its established outdoor living expertise. For Atkin & Thyme, joining the Leisuregrow group provides access to a well-resourced platform, extensive trade relationships, and the infrastructure to scale its collections further.

Symmetry Corporate Finance managed the full transaction process on behalf of the sellers, from preparation and positioning through to identifying the right strategic acquirer and negotiating terms to a successful completion.

Jonathan Tate, Managing Director at Symmetry Corporate Finance, commented: "Atkin & Thyme is a genuinely distinctive brand with a strong identity and real product heritage. Finding the right home for it — one that would respect what had been built and provide the platform to grow — was central to everything we did. Leisuregrow is an excellent fit, and we are delighted to have supported the shareholders through to a great outcome."
