Leading South Coast law firm Lester Aldridge has advised the founders of Mar-key Group on an investment by Alcuin Capital Partners to support the group’s UK growth plans and international expansion led by CEO Ben Scroggie.

The Mar-key Group offers design and manufacturing and provides temporary structures for major sporting events, including Royal Ascot and The Open, as well as for customers such as Tesco and the National Grid.

The LA team was led by corporate partners Grant Esterhuizen and Dean Drew, with support from colleagues Danielle Slater, Gerard Chalkly-Maber, Edward O’Brien, Philippa Broughton, and Adam Corcoran.

Corporate finance and financial modelling support was provided by RSM, led by Clodagh Tunney. The company has also benefitted from pre-sale preparation and ongoing transaction support from Adam Godden of 2525 Limited.

Ben Scroggie said, “This transaction was a new experience for the Mar-key team. We were delighted to have the experienced and professional LA team advising and guiding us through the process to a smooth and successful completion.”

Grant Esterhuizen said, “Congratulations to Ben and his team and to all those involved in this transaction. We look forward to the exciting prospect of the Mar-key Group growing and developing its business in the years ahead.”
