This year, the UK carve-out market has shown real momentum, with businesses increasingly divesting non-core assets to unlock value. We’ve seen deals grow in complexity and length. Some of our highlights this year include: - Deals: Delivered complex group restructures and carve-outs, advancing significant transactions while managing multi-stakeholder environments. - Sector Focus: Continued strengthening our engineering investments, working closely with businesses like Bromford Precision Solutions, Nasmyth Group, and FGP Systems. - Team Growth: Welcomed talented hires Andrew Dalton and Sebastien Johnson, along with Georgia Eckstein as Office Manager and Mark Nolan as Company Secretary. We also strengthened leadership with respected NEDs and Chairs. - Recognition: Proud to be named The IFT Special Situations Private Equity Provider of the Year 2024—our eighth win, reflecting the dedication of our team and partners. A big thank you to everyone who has been part of this year—our incredible teams, partners, and portfolio businesses. Your trust and hard work have been key to our success. As we head into the festive season, we wish you all a well-earned break with your loved ones. Here’s to an exciting and successful 2025. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

We are proud to have supported Temple Lifts Ltd through a pivotal period of growth and transformation. When we acquired the business in July 2023, it was a complex, cross-border carve-out, and we recognised the significant potential Temple Lifts had within the lift modernisation sector. Over the past year, we’ve worked closely with the management team to stabilise the business, strengthen its operations, and position it for sustainable growth and profitability. Temple Lifts has long been admired for its expertise in delivering intricate lift modernisation projects, and this trade sale to the Provident Lift Group ensures the business is set to thrive under new ownership. "I’d like to extend my thanks to the exceptional Temple Lifts team, who have shown dedication and resilience throughout this period. We’re proud of what’s been achieved together and look forward to seeing the business continue to grow and deliver value for customers as part of a larger group. Wishing Temple Lifts, their new owners, and their customers every success for the future.” Chris Campbell #BusinessTransformation #CarveOutSuccess #LiftModernisation #SustainableGrowth #TradeSale #MergersAndAcquisitions #TeamSuccess #NewBeginnings #PartnershipsForGrowth Phil EmmersonAshley Reek

When it comes to carving out a business from a larger group, sellers often need certainty of outcome—fast. Time constraints, complex separation issues, and the need for a seamless transition can make these deals uniquely challenging. Our team thrives on complexity, identifying core issues swiftly and structuring investments to mitigate risk for everyone involved. Beyond the deal, we focus on creating sustained value—benefiting the business, the seller, and all stakeholders. But it doesn’t stop there. We provide portfolio companies with more than just financial backing. We close skill gaps, nurture talent, and step in when it matters most. Whether it’s appointing a CEO or CFO, or supporting strategy at the board level, we bring operational expertise and accountability to drive success. Carve-outs are challenging—but with the right team, they’re an opportunity to unlock value and deliver sustainable growth. #PrivateEquity #CarveOuts #BusinessGrowth #ValueCreation #OperationalExcellence #MergersAndAcquisitions #BusinessStrategy #LeadershipSupport #PortfolioManagement #TurnaroundStrategy #SustainableGrowth
