Alison Mackway, managing
director of Wrightway Health, said, “It’s been a fantastic journey developing
and growing Wrightway Health. We have a
great team around us, and we see this acquisition as an exciting opportunity
for all of them as well as ourselves.
“Preparing for this we have
worked with teams at local firms Lovewell Blake and Ashtons Legal, both of whom
have been incredibly professional and hugely supportive. Marlowe has some ambitious plans that will
be exciting to be a part of moving forward.”
Matt Crawley, corporate
finance partner at Lovewell Blake, said, “This is a strong vote of confidence
in a successful East Anglian company which has proved to be an attractive
prospect for one of the UK’s leading players in the safety and regulatory compliance
field.
“We are delighted to have
helped maximise the value for Wrightway’s owners, as well as securing a strong
future for the firm.”
David Sloman, who headed the
Ashtons Legal team advising the sellers, commented: “We are delighted to have
been supporting the team at Wrightway as they have grown their business and
prepared it for sale. This is an
exciting time for all involved and the fact that the deal has come smoothly to
fruition in spite of the ongoing turbulence in the economy is testament to all
parties.”
Other Ashtons team members
involved in the transaction were James Tarling (Corporate), Colin Makin and
Emily Dixon (Employment), and Sally Challinor and Victoria Harnett (Property
and Environmental).
