Grant Thornton advises Wacoal Europe Limited

Bravissimo is a founder managed, leading retailer of larger cup size women’s lingerie and swimwear with 25 stores in the UK as well as an e-commerce platform serving customers globally in a market with beyond average market growth rate. 

Our client and its Japanese listed parent company were a key supplier to Bravissimo who were looking for new opportunities for growth in key markets and to optimise its supply chain. 

We were introduced by an existing GT client and pitched for the buy side advisory role showing our sector credentials and multi-service capability.

Our sector and market knowledge provided the client and its parent company with valuable insight supporting their board approval and bid submission process and securing exclusivity.

We collaborated closely with lawyers and our colleagues in transaction services (financial, tax, cyber and IT due diligence) and SPA advisory to navigate key deal issues and gain a comprehensive understanding from both the seller and the buyer perspectives to position optimal outcomes for our client.
