Pivotal Growth, a private equity-backed joint venture between LSL Property Services and Pollen Street Capital, has made another strategic move by acquiring London-based Radcliffe & Newlands Mortgages Limited. This deal enhances Pivotal Growth's expanding portfolio and underscores its commitment to targeting niche markets with innovative service models.
Founded in 2006 and led by Managing Director Jason Ransted, Radcliffe & Newlands Mortgages offers tailored mortgage and protection insurance services. The company distinguishes itself by partnering with over 100 large corporate clients, providing mortgage and protection advice as part of their employee benefits. This unique approach positions Radcliffe & Newlands in a distinctive role within the financial advice landscape.
Simon Embley, CEO of Pivotal Growth, stated, “Radcliffe & Newlands Mortgages’ unique model, which integrates mortgage and protection advice as a corporate benefit, represents an exciting and innovative service offering. This acquisition strengthens our market position and enables us to serve a sector previously untapped by the Pivotal group.”
This acquisition follows Pivotal Growth’s recent entry into the business protection market with its purchase of Northern Ireland-based Business Protection Solutions Limited, as reported last week. With these consecutive deals, Pivotal Growth continues demonstrating its commitment to diversification and expanding its market presence. These actions align with the group's broader strategy, which has led to rapid revenue growth and an expanding workforce.
This latest deal highlights the ongoing trend of targeting niche markets and creating innovative service offerings as key drivers of M&A activity. Companies like Pivotal Growth exemplify how strategic acquisitions can unlock opportunities in previously untapped sectors, setting a benchmark for other consolidators in the financial services industry.
