Albion backs Hilson Moran MBO
Albion Ventures has invested in Hilson Moran Holdings Limited to back the £5m management buyout of engineering and environmental consultancy company Hilson Moran Partnership Limited from Altran Technologies S.A.
Albion was attracted by Hilson Moran's strong growth record and management team.
The investment matches Albion's preference of investing £1-10m in growing business ranging from technology-oriented companies to asset-based businesses.
