Alcuin acquires Marsden

Alcuin is currently investing from its fourth fund, which closed on £150m in July 2015 and was 66% deployed as of December last year. The fund invests £2-15m in UK-based companies with enterprise values of £5-30m across all sectors.

The company's family shareholders are stepping down from the business, while the current management team will stay on to lead it.

Following the release of a new product dedicated to the healthcare industry, Marsden plans to grow sales to the NHS and other healthcare organisations.
