EdRip backs Globe Groupe

The GP financed the transaction with equity from Winch Capital III, a €300m vehicle that held a final close in September 2014.

Early-stage investors EPF Partners (now a division of Apax Partners) and Turenne Capital sold their stakes in the business to EdRip. The founder and chairman, Jérémy Dahan, will retain a majority stake.

Globe will target acquisitions to expand its geographic coverage with support from EdRip and associated banks Banque Populaire Rives de Paris and LCL.
