Jahid Ali and BrigittaNaunton of Howes Percival led the legal advisory team. Reconomy received legal advice from Irwin Mitchell and financial DD support from KPMG.

Reconomy’s CEO, Paul Cox, said

John Dhillon, Managing Director of Eurokey, said “We’re delighted to become part of the Reconomy Group. This deal represents an exciting step in the development of Eurokey with a company that mirrors our own values.

He added “I would like to extend my thanks to Will, Shaf and the team at Magma Corporate Finance who, alongside Jahid at Howes Percival, guided us expertly through the transactional maze and helped to secure a strong succession for Eurokey. Both Magma and Howes Percival worked tirelessly, positively and proactively throughout and their support was invaluable.”

Will Lodder of Magma Corporate Finance commented:

“It has been a pleasure to support John and Eurokey on such a great transition. With such a great cultural fit between Reconomy and Eurokey, the business has an exciting period ahead”.

Jahid Ali, Howes Percival, added:
