Continuum was delighted to provide the Human Due Diligence support in the recent acquisition by FPE Capital of Masstech and SGL to form a new group. The simultaneous acquisitions of Masstech and SGL creates an extensive, global platform in digital media workflow automation, asset management and archiving.

‘We were delighted to work again with Llewellyn John at FPE and to meet with Joe French and his team. Once again, our proven process expertly profiled individuals, the team and the organisation enabling us to report to the investment team at FPE on capability, growth potential, team dynamics and human risks for the new group.
