Growth story
The Real Estate market experienced difficult trading conditions and this downturn in the transactional market combined with the pressure caused by its defined benefit pensions obligations led Cluttons to embark on a search for a partner to support its corporate restructuring and future growth. Rcapital were quickly identified as the only firm that could commit to the complex deal negotiations with the technical restructuring capability and international experience necessary to complete this transaction.
Outcome
Following the transaction, Cluttons entered into a period of significant transformation and restructuring, which has resulted in a profitable business that delivers technical excellence, exceptional service and a strong and flourishing brand for the future.
In June 2018, Cluttons sold its Middle East business based in Dubai to Savills. The sale supported a key component in Cluttons’ business strategy, which was to build to a UK focused, independent business that delivered exceptional service to clients in both commercial and residential markets.
The success of the financial and strategic transformation has enhanced the business, achieved significant organic growth and strengthened Cluttons position to take advantage of complementary acquisitions to build a service offering for the future.
