We are delighted to announce that Norte Partners have acquired Kid Ease Limited.
Overview of the deal
Led by George Thresh, Buzzacott provided Financial and Tax Due Diligence, Transaction Advisory and Tax Structuring services to Norte Partners on their acquisition of Kid Ease. The wider Buzzacott team was made up of Alex Judd, Lee D’arcy, Kazia Kruszewski and Alastair McQuater. We were delighted to once again work with Irwin Mitchell on another successful transaction.
“We really enjoyed working on what was a very constructive process with both sides pulling together to get to a common goal. The Kid Ease founders have built something that provides a great service to the Kent and East Anglia communities, and it is fantastic to see that their legacy will continue under Carlos and Kathryn’s stewardship.”
George Thresh, Transaction Services Director
