Peter Hunt, managing director at GrowCap (pictured here), said: “Recent market disruption has caused a number of firms to assess their futures, including the markets in which they wish to operate and businesses they wish to retain or grow.

“We’ve spoken to a number of ambitious companies seeking to acquire good assets that will become dislodged. Working with the Invigors network we’re able to extend that reach for firms seeking to expand their European operations, and to access overseas buyers with a similar ambition”

Ian Robertson, executive director of Invigors (pictured top), said: “We see an increasing demand of customers looking for service-based outcomes.

“Our experience is that innovative companies seeking to move away from these legacy business models are looking to the M&A route as a means to making this transformation.

“In addition, we see many businesses seeking to drive additional scale and who see the current challenging economic conditions as an opportunity to buy high-quality assets at more realistic price points.

“Our M&A capabilities and our market experience and knowledge can
help these ambitious companies deliver on their growth strategies.”
