NATIONAL PR, which owns healthcare consultancy Axon Communications, has acquired Madano Partnership as the French-Canadian conglomerate looks to grow internationally, particularly in the UK and Europe.
Green Square acted as advisors to Madano Partnership throughout the process.
Andy Eymond, Founding Partner Madano commented:
Having access to international specialists in areas such as energy, infrastructure, professional services and health will provide a real competitive advantage to us. Moreover, we are delighted to be part of a group that has a great track record of building and nurturing communications businesses, as it has done in Canada, and are looking forward to playing a key part of the group’s strategic growth plan.
Ralph Sutton, International Managing Partner NATIONAL PR commented:
Madano is a highly successful business with leaders who share our vision and long-term commitment to creating value for our clients. There is great synergy between our businesses that will help us expand internationally in key sectors.
Tony Walford, Green Square Partner commented:
There were clear reasons for Madano and NATIONAL to come together and the transaction, whilst fairly complex, was completed within a short timeframe. A detailed integration plan has been developed which will result in the management team being able to broaden Madano’s horizons as it continues on its growth strategy.
