Consilium has acted for the shareholders for JWF Process Solutions, as Nevis Capital acquires a stake in the Glasgow-based specialist engineering firm.
JWF, which specialises in measurement and instrumentation products and services for the oil, gas, petrochemical and healthcare sectors, has retained the firm’s corporate finance partner, John Blair, as lead advisor in the transaction.
This is the third deal that Consilium has concluded with Nevis, following the company backing the management buy-outs of Hardie Polymers and James Ramsay.
Kenneth Fairbairn, managing director of JWF, said: “Following our introduction to John Blair, John and the team at Consilium explained clearly what form the process would take. From that point onwards they provided simple and clear advice to ensure that both the business and I were comfortable with the financial mechanics of the deal throughout the complete transaction.”
Brian Aitken, partner at Nevis, said: “Nevis are delighted to have completed another deal involving Consilium. They really understand how to close deals in the SME market – running transparent processes with clear communication and pragmatic advice.
“Deals can involve an element of stress and complexity but Consilium’s straightforward, easy to deal with, and commercial approach has ensured that our transactions have run as smoothly and efficiently as possible.”
John Blair, corporate finance partner at Consilium, added: “It is a pleasure to support businesses and investors like JWF and Nevis, helping them to achieve their collective goals. Despite the difficult economic backdrop, successful Scottish businesses continue to thrive and secure the investment required to support future growth.”
