Synarbor is a market-leading provider of resource solutions and specialist support services within the public service sector, specialising in education and social care. It has grown through a number of strategic acquisitions.

Risk Capital Partners invested by way of acquiring shares in AIM listed Synarbor PLC (formerly known as Public Recruitment Group).

Why we invested:

• Resilience of government spending on education
• Repair a heavily indebted balance sheet
• Back a new management team to grow the business

Outcome

RCP successfully exited its investment by way of a secondary buyout in 2015.
