Callcredit Information Group is a credit reference and marketing services company based in Leeds. The Group was established by the Skipton Building Society in 2000 to compete with Experian and Equifax. It was identified as non-core by Skipton in 2009 and put up for sale. A number of private equity houses expressed an interest in acquiring the business.
PPCF was appointed as lead advisor to the management team who had a minority stake in the business and were key to their sale. PPCF advised on selecting a preferred partner and negotiations with the interested parties to ensure that the team achieved an attractive equity package. The acquisition was funded by Vitruvian and Lloyds Bank.
