Expert pairing with our acquisition of HighNet
David Siegel, MD of HighNet said: “It was really important that we found a pairing that allowed us to do what we do best. We also wanted a culture that matched our own and to benefit from all that comes with the support of a larger business; namely the investment and expertise to transition to a £20m turnover company.
There ended up being only one partnership that ticked all the boxes and I’m excited the next phase of our journey sees us joining forces with Focus Group. We can now start to concentrate our minds on how we best drive growth and deliver on our combined potential.
HighNet was advised by Paul Billingham from Knight Corporate Finance, Focus was advised by Roxburgh Milkins and RSM UK Group.”
