What we did<\/h2>\n

Investec assisted Avril Group throughout the sell-side process: pre-sounding appetite for the asset in the market, monitoring of the financial VDD, approach of interested acquirers, creation of the marketing documentation, identification of carve out issues, management of the due diligence, and assistance in negotiating the deal and the legal documentation.<\/p>\n

This sale is the 14th transaction advised by Investec for the Avril Group. We are very proud to have been by their side since 2011.<\/p>\n
