 Pan-European mid-market private equity house Barclays Private Equity has acquired a major stake in UK wild bird care and garden product company Gardman Holdings in a deal worth £85m.
Gardman was originally founded 15 years ago by Paris Natar. Based in Lincolnshire, England, the company also has subsidiaries in America and Australia.
Barclays Private Equity director Phil Griesbach said, 'We have known Gardman for a number of years and have been impressed with the way that it has developed over that time. The company has demonstrated it has a robust business model based upon design innovation and providing its customers with good quality, affordable products. Its success is down to an excellent management team with whom we look forward to working.'
Earlier this month Barclays Private Equity announced that it had realised its investment in The Original Factory Shop through a £68.5m secondary MBO, led by Duke Street Capital.
