One of the newest AGCC member firms, Quantify Advisors, has had a busy week of deal completions.
Quantify Advisors has assisted Hero Brands on strategic investment in German Doner Kebab by True - a US based private equity firm focused on the consumer sector.
GDK was developed by Hero Brands, a Glasgow-based incubator of food and beverage concepts. Headquartered in Glasgow, GDK launched in 2015 has grown quickly to over 145 UK locations and over 170 globally. This investment will assist GDK in its mission to redefine the kebab experience and scale one of the most exciting QSR brands.
Quantify Advisors, based in Aberdeen is a boutique corporate finance firm which is owned and managed by Tom Faichnie and Melanie Clark, who together have over 30 years of experience of working with private equity houses, banks, corporates and business owners to deliver exceptional outcomes. Specialising in due diligence, lead advisory, SPA advice and financial modelling, the firm is committed to a hands-on, partner-led approach.
Quantify Partner Melanie Clark said: “We were delighted to support Hero Brands with the strategic investment into GDK by True. It has been fascinating to witness the success of the brand over recent years.
"While we are all aware these days of the power of social media as a marketing tool, few do it as well or as innovatively as Hero Brands, their portfolio is a genuine masterclass in harnessing the power of social media and influencers to build your brand into a global phenomenon.
"We have really enjoyed working with Hero Brands and GDK and are really excited to see it develop further under the guidance of True.”
This deal completion comes off the back of a busy week of deal completions for Quantify Advisors, having provided financial due diligence to Harwood Private Capital (HPC) on its investment in Aratellus Offshore, a pioneering subsea technology company specialising in advanced seabed investigation and intervention. This follows a number of recent deals that Quantify Advisors has completed in the subsea space, having also provided financial due diligence to BGF on its recent investment in Sulmara Subsea with several others on the horizon.
