Read IFA in management buy-out
Hanover-based financial services provider AWD Group has sold its subsidiary Read IFA to management. The terms of the deal were not disclosed.
The sale is part of a strategic review by DAX-listed AWD Group, which has included the disposals of its internet business, moneyextra.com, and its Leicester-based mortgage advisory subsidiary, AWD Home Finance.
Brabners Chaffe Street’s Manchester-based corporate team provided legal counsel to AWD. Sam Mabon, partner in the corporate team at Brabners, said: “This is the culmination of a thorough strategic review by the firm, which will enable it to concentrate on core operations and consolidate its market-leading status.”
