Halsbury has been in the school touring business for around 40 years

Prestwick based IBT was founded in 1986, providing ski and educational trips to English and Scottish schools. The deal is Halsbury’s first acquisition since it was bought by capital market firm Literacy Capital in June 2022.

Group chief executive Robin Parry said it would help Halsbury “grow and flourish” by expanding its product offering and reach, as well as allowing it to enhance processes, systems and commercial practices.
