Grant Thornton advises Queen’s Park Equity LLP

Queen’s Park Equity LLP (QPE) is a PE fund which invests in businesses across Education, Health & Pharma and Technology. It typically ‘buys to build’ by focusing on entrepreneurial businesses with strong growth potential.

Blue Ribbon Healthcare Group Limited (Blue Ribbon) is a North West-based provider of specialist support services to individuals with autism and learning disabilities, through a mix of residential care and high-acuity supported living.

The founders of Blue Ribbon sought private equity investment to enable them to propel the growth of the business. QPE was recognised as a compelling partner to support Blue Ribbon’s growth strategy due to its in-depth sector knowledge and strong cultural fit with the business.

We provided buy-side corporate finance and debt advisory support to QPE. Our project management of the deal from final offer stage to completion facilitated a smooth process within a compact timeline.

Our sector knowledge enabled us to navigate through various industry-specific issues, leveraging the strength of our relationships in the market to engineer solutions that achieved the right result for all stakeholders.
