UK - Vitruvian Partners acquires CIG
London-based Vitruvian Partners has acquired a majority stake in Callcredit Information Group (CIG), the credit referencing and marketing services subsidiary of building society Skipton, for an undisclosed sum.
The transaction reportedly generated £40m for the vendor Skipton, who decided that CIG was no longer a core asset to its business.
CIG was founded in 2000. The company employs more than 600 people and has an annual turnover of £50m, recording profits in 2008 of £5m. Vitruvian is expected to help CIG explore new markets and geographies to expand the company.
Vitruvian will hold a seat on CIG's board.
