What we liked about this deal and the challenges addressed
From the outset the Alpha team were adamant that any investor would have to be the perfect fit. This led to us running a selective process with a very short list of potential parties. It is testament to the impressive historic performance of and attractive opportunity presented by Alpha Development that such a process was possible. We worked closely with the Alpha team in the initial stages of finding the right investor and guided them throughout each stage of the transaction right the way to completion.
