Company background 

Since inception in 1997, Prestige Purchasing established themselves as a quality procurement provider, leading them to become the largest independent provider of procurement service to the foodservice sector.  

What was special?

PEMCF worked closely alongside the PEM Business Tax team and Buckles to advise on deal structuring and the legal framework to complete a great deal for all parties in a very quick timeframe. 

Deal structure

The transaction saw a new company formed to acquire Prestige Purchasing, allowing the existing majority shareholder to significantly reduce their ownership stake, and for the management team to assume control and majority ownership.
