London-based Queen's Park Equity has acquired Republic M! (RM!), which provides digital media services for the healthcare sector, in a management buyout.

The deal is the seventh platform deal from Queen's Park Equity Fund I, which closed in December 2020 at its hard cap of GBP 202m.

RM! provides tools and software for remote detailing (1:1 marketing of therapies to doctors), virtual events and multi-channel management software for the pharmaceutical industry.

The Dutch company operates across the UK, Benelux and DACH regions.

QPE said it will grow the business via expanding relationships with pharma clients as well as enhancing RM!'s cross-selling capabilities, as well as entering new markets.

The private equity firm's other platform deals include Blue Ribbon, a UK-based support provider for people with learning difficulties and autism, and Encore Group, a UK property management company.
