Investment Overview

In December 2021, NBPE invested alongside Trilantic Capital in Addison Group, a provider of professional services that specialises in talent solutions and consulting services, offering a full suite of capabilities across multiple sectors including information technology, finance and accounting, healthcare, human resources, administrative and digital marketing. Since 2016, Addison Group has grown through national expansion, investment in project consulting services, and has completed five strategic acquisitions of high-growth consulting services and talent solutions firms.

The Manager believes this was an attractive opportunity to invest alongside a leading private equity sponsor in a company that has consistently grown over the last several years, even during the pandemic. New opportunities are increasing in areas such as fintech and automation, cyber security, compliance, digital transformation and others which the Manager believes offers highly attractive growth opportunities and end market diversification. Finally, with Addison Group’s expansion into consulting services, the company has expanded its addressable market into staffing segments which have high growth and accelerating shortages in talent for highly-skilled positions.
