Isis reaps 2.5x on WMS exit

Isis originally provided £10.5m to fund the management buyout of WMS in May 2007. The GP reaped a 2.5x return on investment and an IRR of 15% on the sale.

Since the GP's initial involvement, WMS has grown through the development of new products and services in response to the changing UK healthcare market.

In January 2014, Isis sold vending machines supplier Kafevend to Eden Springs, reaping a 2.5x multiple and an IRR of 13.8% for the Baronsmead VCTs.
