We are delighted to have advised on the sale of CFSWH Limited backed by BCF Equity Partners to Keys Group backed by G Square Capital
CF Social was established in 2006 to provide social intervention and psychological assessments to families and local authorities. In 2020, the business received investment from BCF Equity Partners to support its next phase of growth.
Since then, under the leadership of the senior management team, the business has experienced accelerated growth, establishing two new divisions – CF Education & CF Children’s Homes. Today, CF Group is recognised as a leading provider of alternative education and residential care services for vulnerable children and young people aged 4-18, catering to a diverse range of complex, high-acuity needs.
