Numis is proud to have supported Future PLC, the global platform for specialist media, on its c.£300m acquisition of Dennis from Exponent Private Equity.

The acquisition accelerates Future’s strategy, enhances their content capabilities and brings additional geographical and vertical revenue diversification.

"The Numis team have been instrumental in delivering the Dennis acquisition. Their integrated M&A, sector and broking services are ideally suited to supporting ambitious and acquisitive UK PLC’s like Future."

Zillah Byng-Thorne CEO, Future
Numis played an important role throughout the transaction, from assisting with sourcing the opportunity through its sponsor relationships, to providing input on valuation and negotiation with the seller, and developing the equity story for shareholder engagement.

 “The acquisition is a great example of our expanding M&A franchise and supporting our long-standing broking clients to execute their strategy through inorganic growth. It is the third large media acquisition Numis has executed this year spanning public, private and international targets.”

Nick Westlake & Alec Pratt Managing Directors, Numis
