We are delighted to have advised Panmure Gordon Co on their sale to Ellsworthy Limited.
Panmure Gordon is a long-standing client of ours, having acted as Nomad to the listed investment banking and institutional stockbroking firm for the last 9 years.

We provided corporate finance, City Code and valuations advice in its capacity as Panmure Gordon’s Rule 3 adviser (as required under the City Code) on the sale of the group by way of a scheme of arrangement to Ellsworthy Limited, a company owned and controlled by QInvest LLC, an existing 43% shareholder in Panmure Gordon and by a wholly-owned subsidiary of a fund managed by Atlas Merchant Capital LLC and founded by former group chief executive of Barclays plc, Bob Diamond, in a deal which values the group at approximately £17.5 million
We were engaged to provide Panmure Gordon with corporate finance advice and to help maximise shareholder value. We supported Panmure Gordon throughout the transaction as the lead financial adviser, project managing the entire transaction. The advice included providing City Code and valuations advisory work to facilitate this listed company disposal.
