Foresight invests in Graham + Sibbald, supporting a further key acquisition
Foresight Group (“Foresight”), a prominent regional private equity manager, has announced an investment in Graham + Sibbald, one of the UK’s fastest-growing firms of chartered surveyors and property consultants.
The investment will enable Graham + Sibbald to transition from a traditional partnership to a corporate structure, providing a platform for acquisitions, new offices, and important lateral hires. The funding has already facilitated the acquisition of prominent property consultancy Aitchison Raffety, accelerating Graham + Sibbald’s growth in England.
Dow Schofield Watts Transaction Services in the North West provided Financial Due Diligence for Foresight, led by a team comprising Catriona Lang, Rob Parker, Declan Littler, and Adam Raja.
Daniel Halliday, Managing Director at Foresight, said, “We are delighted to have completed an investment in Graham + Sibbald, supporting the leadership team’s vision for growth. Graham + Sibbald is already a well-known name in Scotland, and there is a large untapped opportunity for consolidation in a fragmented market to become a leading player across the UK”.
Catriona Lang, partner at Dow Schofield Watts, added, “Having worked with Foresight on several previous transactions, it has been especially pleasing to assist on a material investment in such a high-profile operator in the UK property consultancy & surveying sector. We wish both the S+G Management team and Foresight all the best with the continued growth trajectory”.
