Inflexion-backed Radius acquires Burley
Inflexion Private Equity-backed Radius Payment Solutions has acquired insurance broker The Burley Group.
Burley plans to expand sales operations and its product range following the transaction.
Inflexion acquired a majority stake in Radius for £150m in 2017, drawing capital from its £400m Partnership Capital Fund I. The deal reportedly valued the company at £800m. Radius's turnover grew to £2.5bn in 2019.
Inflexion did not inject additional equity to finance the acquisition of Burley.
In October 2018, Radius acquired mobile and fixed-line communications service Adam Phones and announced the acquisition of telematics company Sure-Track on 1 November 2019. This acquisition is intended to expand Radius's insurance division.
