Crowe has advised the shareholders of Displayplan Limited (Displayplan), a YFM Equity Partners (YFM) portfolio company, on its sale to Blackstone-backed HH Global, an international market leader in tech-enabled creative production and global retail marketing activation.
Displayplan is an award-winning retail display specialist which designs, delivers and manages complex point-of-sale solutions and engaging in-store experiences for leading brands and retailers worldwide.
Backed by YFM in 2012, Managing Director Scott Morris and Executive Chairman Neil Campbell, supported by a high calibre team of creative, structural design and production specialists, have built Displayplan into the outstanding international business that it is today.
The joining of the two companies represents a progressive move for HH Global and is an exceptional addition to its retail solutions business, combining category-leading talent and complementary expertise to deliver enhanced retail marketing activation capabilities for an impressive portfolio of global brands.
The Crowe team of Andy Coghlan, Connor Tostevin and Charlie Copp acted as lead advisers to shareholders Scott Morris, Neil Campbell, YFM and Nigel Rzemieniecki.
“It has been a pleasure to be guided and supported by the team at Crowe. They were insightful, helpful, hardworking and transparent all the way along. I would like to thank them for their dedication to the process and their patience with us at each step. A great team and a great outcome.”
Scott Morris, Managing Director, Displayplan Limited
“The team at Crowe were a great help and support to us in this deal. They were professional and dedicated and led negotiations to a very successful result. Thank you, team, and I highly recommend them to others.”
Neil Campbell, Executive Chairman, Displayplan Limited
“YFM Equity Partners appreciate the hard work and dedication of the Crowe team to deliver an excellent result for the British Smaller Companies VCTs. This is a culmination of a successful journey for all stakeholders and we want to put on record our appreciation for the support of our advisors.
