Well-established and respected hot-dip galvanizing firm, Corbetts The Galvanizers, was acquired by Canadian Private Equity firm Ardenton Capital. The deal represents Ardenton's first acquisition within the UK, and the firm cited Corbetts' impressive management team, robust growth potential and longevity of services as major factors when selecting a UK acquisition. The existing Managing Director and Finance Director of Corbetts were also both given the opportunity to invest alongside Ardenton.

Livingbridge has invested in a 52% stake in Superbike Factory, the UK's largest independent supplier of used motorcycles and the leading finance broker in the sector.
