We look forward to partnering with the CEO, Maddalena Marchesini, and the rest of the management team to support the ambitious growth plans they have for the business. This will be achieved through both organic growth and acquisitions, and we intend to actively support the company’s internationalisation through our pan-European presence and sector expertise.”
