Clearwater’s specialist debt advisory team has advised BCN Group on the raising of an acquisition facility to support the company’s buy and build strategy. Led by Clearwater’s Joe Dyke and Mark Ward, this is the second time Clearwater has worked with the BCN management team, having advised on the transaction with Beech Tree in November 2018. This strengthens Clearwater's debt advisory credentials in the managed services space, having completed a number of deals in this sector over the last 12 months.

BCN Group is a fast growing provider of IT managed services to UK businesses. The new acquisition facility will give BCN the ability to supplement its organic growth with several strategic bolt-on acquisitions to increase both the scale and breadth of the group’s service offering.

We are looking at several potential acquisition opportunities already, which will enable us to provide an ever broader portfolio of products and solutions to our clients and an increased level of opportunity for our staff. This committed facility will support our strategy and enable us to move faster when assessing strategic acquisition opportunities. I look forward to announcing our first deal in the not too distant future.

It was a pleasure working with BCN on this key deal to secure essential capital for its promising growth in the UK market and we hope to continue our relationship on future M&A activity to help the team achieve their objectives.
