Synergy and Fresh Tech are alike in numerous respects; international reach, dedication to clients, and advocacy of Cloud-first solutions. Evolution helped to negotiate and realise the merger, bringing value to each party, and working to create a substantial new firm with enhanced capabilities and scale.
Ric McCorriston, Founder of Fresh Tech, said: “At an early stage, we identified shared values and aspirations between our two organisations. The consolidation of our resources has enabled us to expand our activities internationally, with further opportunities for growth on the horizon.”
Duncan Gregory, Head of Evolution Capital’s Transaction Team, said: “After working with Synergy for five years and helping them create significant value in their business, we are delighted with the outcome of this acquisition as part of what we believe will be a very successful M&A strategy. Our innovative and bespoke process, which has been developed in-house by Evolution Capital following decades of transactional experience, has enabled us to keep transactions on track despite the negative effects of the pandemic.”
