Acquisition: Customs Support Group
Crowe’s Midlands Corporate Finance team advises Customs Support Group (CSG), the leading digital customs broker in Europe on third UK acquisition this year.
CSG has acquired Britannia Bureau Ltd a customs and international trade process company based in Langdon, Essex, with offices in Liverpool and London.
The deal follows on from Customs Support’s acquisitions of two other UK businesses in May - Osborn Customs Services, the Rochester-based customs clearance experts, and the Dover export agents KSI Portlink, which were also advised by Crowe.
Netherlands-based CSG first expanded its operations into the UK with the acquisition of UK Customs Solutions back in October 2021.
Crowe's role and team
Crowe’s Corporate Finance team was led by Partner Andy Kay and Director Chasz Coulsting, supported by colleagues Phoebe Turner and Nick Martin. The team provided financial due diligence and transaction support services.
