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.
Nick, George and team were invaluable partners throughout this acquisition. They were able to cut straight to the key issues as a result of their sector experience and their diligent and professional approach meant we were able to transact on a short timeline. I would have no hesitation in recommending Grant Thornton’s corporate finance and debt advisory teams.
