Meridian Corporate Finance is delighted to have advised Stewart Signs Limited on its acquisition of a majority stake in Signbox Limited, a move that brings together two highly respected names in the UK signage and branding industry.
This latest transaction marks the continuation of a partnership spanning more than a decade between Meridian and Stewart Signs. Over the past ten years, we have been proud to support the Stewart Signs team at every key stage of their growth journey, from their management buy-out through to two strategic acquisitions, including this most recent investment in Signbox.
The acquisition of Signbox represents an exciting step forward for Stewart Signs, strengthening its position as a UK market leader in visual communications and architectural signage. Together, the two businesses combine decades of specialist expertise, shared values, and a commitment to quality and innovation in the signage industry.
Speaking about the partnership, Michael Barcia, who led the transaction alongside Prabin Sunar and George Forgan, commented, “It has been a privilege to work alongside Stewart Signs for so many years and to play a part in their continued success. Their focus on sustainable growth and innovation has been consistent since day one, and this acquisition is a natural progression in their journey.”
The Meridian team was supported by the corporate team at Trethowans, with the sellers advised by Phillips Law, and tax advice provided by Cathy Revis at Fiander ETL.
We extend our warmest congratulations to both the Stewart Signs and Signbox teams on reaching this exciting milestone. We look forward to continuing to support Stewart Signs as they build on their success and shape the future of the UK signage industry.
