Our Corporate Finance team managed the entire sale process – from preparing the information memorandum and identifying potential investors, to negotiating the final deal with the private equity investment company. The business now has the financial backing it needs to continue to invest, and the management team can embark on the next phase of their growth strategy.

Our team managed a competitive process, and negotiated the successful strategic sale of the group to Davies, a leading specialist professional services and technology business. The sale structure accommodated the aims of all shareholders, and company founder Matt Corby will continue to lead VRG, working with the 4,000-strong Davies team.
