Perfect owner for them
In January 2010, fears were raised over the future of the pier after it emerged the owners were losing thousands of pounds every year. The pier was one of Six Piers Ltd portfolio of piers. The company said they were 'continuing to look at ways to improve the offering.' Then in May 2010, the pier was sold to a holding company called Frenash Ltd, set up by a consortium led by Mr Fred Nash. Frenash was later forced into liquidation following a disputed power bill and the running of the pier was transferred to SPP South Coast Ltd, also headed by Mr Nash and Ms Dawn Randall.
