Whistle Punks operates urban axe-throwing venues that let customers throw axes for recreation. The company currently has sites in London, Manchester and Birmingham. Management says demand for alternative sports and leisure activities is rising. The business raised a £1.5 million investment from Edition Capital to support growth. Whistle Punks plans to use the funding to expand across the UK with additional sites. Founders John Nimmons and Jools Whitehorn led the company through the transaction with legal advice from Joelson and support from Grant Thornton’s Growth Team.
