A-to-E Training and Solutions acquired by High Wood Capital

A-to-E Training and Solutions, which specialises in programmes based on medical emergencies, has been sold in a deal overseen by Steve Alcock, KBS Corporate Deal Executive.

The London-based company, founded in 2006, designs tutorials delivered by instructors who are all subject-matter experts with real-life experience – and which enable clinicians to feel equipped and supported when encountering emergency situations.

Having built up a successful and highly respected business, Chris Kurt-Gabel, the founder and executive chair of A-to-E, instructed KBS to preside over a deal that would release capital and facilitate further expansion under the impetus of new ownership.

After a healthy level of interest, the successful offer was made by High Wood Capital, a Cheshire-based independent private investment company founded by Andrew Stubbs and which works with SMEs in a hands-on capacity to help them take full advantage of their opportunities to grow and develop.

“The buyer could see the potential growth of the business and also wanted to diversify the projects they invested in,” explained Steve Alcock.

“The outlook for A-to-E is very positive as the investors backing the deal are looking to invest further to grow the company and cross-sell with their existing businesses.

“From my point of view, the deal was the best thing that will enable the business to progress to the next step and continue to grow, and it was completed to the satisfaction of the client and the buyer.”
