EMW advised Dyaco UK on its recent acquisition of a controlling interest in A&D Sports, the British manufacturer behind commercial strength and combat sports equipment brand, Exigo.
The transaction brings together two well established businesses in the fitness equipment sector, and we’re delighted to have played our part. Saying we can’t wait to see the Dyaco group continue to go from strength to strength feels particularly fitting here.
Dean Jackson, CEO of Dyaco UK said:
“We’re delighted to have completed this acquisition. Exigo is a fantastic British brand with a strong reputation, and we’re incredibly excited about what we can achieve together. EMW has been providing us with commercially focused advice long before this transaction. The team worked incredibly hard to help us get this deal over the line and we’re very grateful for their support. The timescale for completing this transaction was particularly challenging, and the support we received from Hollie and the EMW team was outstanding. Real hands-on approach, responding at pace, and navigating the acquisition pragmatically. Hollie’s commitment to us and to getting the deal done was clear throughout, and we greatly valued having EMW in our corner.”
The EMW team comprised Tracy Evans and Hollie Hobbins (Corporate), and Priya Magar and Aimee Johns (Employment).
