London – March 2025 - STOX Consulting has acted as strategic, transactional advisor to Barons Eden, one of the UK’s leading destination spa resort groups, as it secures investment from Alchemy Partners.

Barons Eden’s partnership with Alchemy will provide both the expertise and capital to underpin the Group’s next growth phase, through the acquisition and development of multiple properties within the UK, allowing the team to expand the Barons Eden portfolio in the coming years. Savills and Alantra were financial advisers to Barons Eden on the transaction.
