Sell-side advisory

Alantra has advised the shareholders of ConSol Partners on the purchase of a 65% interest in the business by Empresaria, the international specialist staffing group listed on AIM.

Headquartered in London, ConSol is a specialist recruitment company operating in the Technology sector with a niche market focus on communications and mobile, cloud technologies and the digital supply chain. Established in 2008, ConSol has grown to become an international business. Initially expanding through the European market, with a good presence in Benelux and Germany, in 2013 the business grew organically into the US and now operates from offices in Los Angeles and Boston.The spread of net fee income is now evenly split between the three main regions of UK, USA and Continental Europe.

This investment complements Empresaria’s stated growth strategy of developing leading brands in their sectors with a business that is already diversified geographically. The business is focused on specialist professional roles and has a good balance of contract income and permanent appointments.The niche sectors ConSol operates in are expected to see strong growth opportunities in the coming years and this investment will strengthen Empresaria’s presence in the IT & Design sector.”
