Galago Group

Castle Corporate Finance - Our window on the world.

Castle has advised growing specialist recruitment business the Galago Group (“Galago”) in its acquisition of Newcastle headquartered Northern Recruitment Group (“NRG”).

NRG is a staffing business specialising in executive search and selection, as well as the provision of temporary, contract and permanent recruitment services.

The acquisition will see NRG and its recruitment processing outsourcing service, greenbean, become part of London-based Galago.

Galago will work closely with NRG’s existing senior management team to support the continued growth of the business alongside its other subsidiaries.

Galago’s Group Finance Director, Keith Boyce, said: “As our first acquisition, we wanted professional support from people that really understood the sector and were able to provide the commercial and technical insight that we were after.  Castle led a proactive process and brought together a deal team that proved to be an excellent mix of experts, giving us the added comfort that we had the right team working on our side.  The deal itself went through a number of incarnations and Castle ensured we achieved the right outcome.  Castle proved to be highly capable, available and assuring throughout and so we were really happy with their performance on this deal.”

Castle Managing Director, Stuart Stepney, added: “We were really pleased to work with the shareholders again at Galago and assist them in their first major acquisition since launch.  The deal should enable Galago to advance its expansion plans, broaden its geographic reach, and be able to offer a broader range of services to a wider customer base.

We would like to wish all involved the very best for the future”
