Historically recognized for its know-how in procurement and project management, the group expertise now encompasses supply chain management, indirect procurement, cost management, redesign-to-cost, recruitment, transition management, training and coaching thanks to uninterrupted organic growth since its inception by Richard Caron in 2005 and five acquisitions over the last three years (Cristal D\u00e9cisions and Masa\u00ef in 2021, EIPM, SolvH.A, and Cost House in 2023).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Investec assisted the shareholders and management of Meogroup in conducting the process, leading Andera Partners to become the new minority financial shareholder. This milestone will also enable Meogroup to accelerate its development ; management aiming at doubling in size by 2027 through upmarket offering, geographical expansion, and the continuation of its targeted external growth strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-we-did\">What we did<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Investec has advised Meogroup management throughout the process:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Deal preparation: deal structuring, defining possible deal tactics, marketing material preparation;<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Deal execution: assessing key challenges for the next development phase and selecting best suited candidates to support management ambition, monitoring due diligence phase, and providing support during final negotiations;<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Financing: negotiating and securing the financing with lenders.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><em>\u201cI was very pleased to work with Investec.
