Together completes £1.59m loan for Blackpool business




Together has provided a £1.59m commercial mortgage loan for the purchase of a leisure complex on Blackpool's promenade.

The loan enabled Gayna Sedgwick-Ruddigan (pictured above, left) to buy the chip shop and other linked businesses — which she had been leasing for the past seven years — on the Golden Mile.

The entertainment venue — opposite the Central Pier — also includes a licensed pub, photo studio and ice cream stand.

Gayna said: “I’m proud to own a chunk of Blackpool’s Golden Mile — to me, it’s like owning something in the middle of London’s Oxford Street.”

Michael Street, senior internal sales executive at Together (right), said that Gayna’s background and knowledge of the local property market were major factors in agreeing the deal.

“Straightaway, we saw that Gayna has something special and comes from a family with a wealth of experience. 

“We saw vast potential in her plans to further strengthen the site, aligned with the town’s extensive redevelopments, and we believe it will be a huge success.”
