KBS retains top spot in the UK and Europe

KBS Corporate is proud to be a key member of the K3 Capital Group, playing a vital role in its ongoing success story which sees the group go from strength to strength, year on year.

And having started 2024 strongly by finishing top for Q1 in the LSEG mid-market UK business sales ranking, we have now confirmed the No 1 spot for H1.

Q1 saw us climb to the summit in the whole of Europe, having finished third in 2022 and second in 2023.

With Q2 wrapped up, we have maintained our No 1 position in Europe for H1, a region whose market has outperformed all others. We currently sit in fourth place globally.

So far this year, K3 has completed exactly three times more deals than its nearest UK competitor: 150 in total compared to the second-placed company’s 50.

Significant deals we completed in H1 include private equity investment for Black & White Engineering, a multi-award-winning global engineering consultancy; the sale of AFECO, a leading independent infrastructure, construction and property services company; and the acquisition of Vision Survey, one of the UK’s leading land surveying providers.

We continue accelerating our rapidly growing head count at our headquarters in Bolton, which saw us recently acquire additional office space.

Big thanks to all our team members whose hard work helps us climb the ranking tables!
