A Swansea-based performing arts franchise is looking to expand and launch a new school after it was acquired following a six-figure funding package from HSBC UK.
Stagecoach Performing Arts, which has eight schools catering for aspiring performing arts students from ages four to 18, has been bought by teacher Kelly-Marie Rosina Williams and her husband Benn. The value of six-figure funding was not disclosed.
The couple, who have worked with the franchise for the past decade, purchased the business, which covers all its existing Swansea locations and 400 students, following the retirement of the previous owner.
