Lynx buys Label Express

Financial details of the transaction remain undisclosed, though Lynx typically invests in companies with values of $1-10m, specifically in situations where owners are looking to retire.

The deal is the second UK investment made by the GP, following its acquisition of SignalHome, a provider of logistics to the kitchen retail sector, in February.

The GP intends to pursue further transactions in the country following the devaluation in sterling caused by the UK's vote to leave the European Union, according to a statement. The firm believes there are good opportunities for investing in British companies that are unlikely to be impacted by the economic uncertainty surrounding Brexit.
