Transaction

Instant Fire Protection Investment

Meta Corporate Finance has today completed a complex transaction representing a cornerstone investment for the Peverel Group to enhance its existing Cirrus Fire Protection and Building Services Business

Meta has acted for some time for the shareholders of Instant Fire Protection through a period of rapid growth of the business. Chris Richardson and Ernie Berntsen, the shareholders of IFP, were delighted to crystallise significant value in the business and liquidate other property assets held within the company.

Richard Ward who led the transaction for Peverel said, “This was a well-managed transaction and thanks to the IFP advisory team we can now move rapidly to further our acquisition programme and expand Peverel’s Cirrus business into further buildings services areas.”

Mark Ledger-Beadell, managing director of Meta, led a team of legal and accounting advisers.

“We are very grateful to Peter Counsell for his experienced support during the negotiations. He understood the nature of ITUK and its philosophy and skilfully guided us through the maze of issues that are inherent in such a complex transaction. Meta had a very difficult role as they were heavily involved in negotiating in two cultures."

“I am very happy to see Murston Plant now under GSE’s ownership. The negotiations proceeded in a very professional manner, as you would expect, but this was aided significantly by Peter Counsell’s role as lead adviser. He maintained an air of calm that helped the transaction move to a successful conclusion.”

Murston Plant

“This was a complex transaction, handled with great skill by Peter Counsell at Meta. We had to find a structure that accommodated the requirements of the exiting, ongoing and incoming shareholders and of the funders. Peter’s experience in building such structures and his knowledge of the funding market was vital to the achievement of those requirements.”
