“On behalf of the shareholders, we’d like to thank Cavendish for their advice, tireless work ethic and professionalism throughout the process. Jon, Mike and the team were instrumental in achieving a fantastic result for both the shareholders and the company, as we embark on our exciting next phase of growth with a new investor. We knew we had chosen the right partner in Cavendish and you did not let us down.”

“We are very pleased to have found such a complementary match in Centaur Media, and we look forward to working with the team there to make the integration of the two businesses a success. At MarketMakers we appreciate the hard work that was put in by each member of the Cavendish team, for their on-going advice during the transaction and to ensure the smooth running of negotiations from start to finish.”

“It was a great pleasure to work with the Cavendish team once again. Having successfully worked together on the sale of our Payroll business in 2018, Cavendish were our natural choice of advisors. The team demonstrated a deep understanding of the sector and provided sound and trusted advice throughout the process.

We are confident the business will continue to flourish under IRIS Software Group’s ownership, further developing and delivering our market-leading software to new markets, and we look forward to working together during this next chapter.”

Bernard Skalla, CEO, Star

We are delighted with this transaction as Celtech is a class-leading developer of cloud-based retail and wholesale management solutions. The acquisition allows the Group to offer the very latest in RMS technologies to existing and new customers and extends the Group’s product offering into wholesaling and new geographies such as Ireland. It is expected to be earnings enhancing in its first full year of ownership.
