THE COMPANY

Fundamentals is a power systems technology specialist, delivering innovative solutions which improve the health and performance of the grid. Based in the UK and Australia, it has built on its origins as an innovator in Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR) products, together with its expertise in tapchangers and fault monitoring, to develop new products and services for better grid management.

CHALLENGE

We advised Fundamentals’ management team on a disposal process strategy that would meet the requirements of all stakeholders. We prepared an Information Memorandum (IM) and identified suitable buyers in a discrete and targeted manner, and oversaw a tightly controlled sale process and led negotiations with potential parties.

OUTCOME

Through our support and strategic guidance, we helped Fundamentals’ management team plan the trade sale and marketed its HV Services division to suitable UK trade buyers. With a great deal of sensitivity, we negotiated a deal that saw the business acquired by Freedom Group (part of NG Bailey) meeting all stakeholders requirements.
