Perwyn agrees Everflow exit, delivering a 7.2x multiple on invested capital   Perwyn has entered an agreement to exit its investment in Everflow, which has evolved into one of the UK's fastest-growing business utilities providers.   Since partnering with the business in 2018, Everflow has grown from a regional challenger into a nationwide multi-utility platform serving more than 120,000 premises. The transaction is one of the largest North East private equity deals of the year, with BGF and OakNorth backing the business as it enters its next phase of growth.   Michael Rothwell, Investment Manager at Perwyn, said: “We have been proud to partner with Everflow since 2018, initially backing Josh Gill, Adam Straker and James Cleave and more recently supporting Craig Dallison and the wider management team through a remarkable period of growth.   “With our support Everflow has evolved into a nationwide multi-utility platform, and this outcome is a testament to the strength of the leadership team and the scalable business that has been built. We are delighted to have played a part in that journey and wish Craig, BGF and OakNorth every success as Everflow embarks on its next chapter.”

We’re pleased to share that we have agreed to exit our investment in WGNSTAR for c. US$275 million. Since partnering with founder Basil Holian in 2019, we have supported the business’s transformation into a transatlantic leader in managed workforce solutions for the semiconductor and high-technology industries. Heinz Holsten and Maxime Menu, members of the Perwyn investment team and WGNSTAR board, commented: “Semiconductors are fundamental to the global economy, and since our investment in 2019 we have backed WGNSTAR to grow organically, complete two transformational acquisitions in the US, and develop further into a highly skilled, transatlantic business providing mission-critical managed services to a key industry. The team has also deepened long-standing client relationships, and we are very proud of what has been achieved.” This investment exemplifies a core Perwyn philosophy: partnering with visionary entrepreneurs and backing them with long-term capital, operational support, and senior talent to unlock growth. We were proud to support Basil’s transition from CEO to President, strengthen the C-suite, and help build a business providing mission-critical services. The agreement to sell WGNSTAR to ABM UK, a global leader in integrated facility and infrastructure solutions, follows shortly after our recent announcement to exit from Lowe Rental.
