DMH Stallard advises BDX Group on ‘strategic acquisition’

DMH Stallard has advised BDX Group Ltd and Socrates Holdings Ltd on the successful acquisition of Socrates Imaging B.V. and Socrates Imaging Ltd, marking a significant milestone in the growth strategy of the group.

Led by BDX Group, the transaction supports its ambition to further develop and expand the long-established imaging business within the global leisure and attractions sector.

Socrates Imaging has built a strong reputation over more than 30 years as a specialist provider of photography and video capture solutions for the leisure and attractions industry. Under its new ownership, the business is well positioned to build on that heritage while continuing to invest in technology, innovation and customer service.

The DMH Stallard team was led by Corporate Partner Chris Simmons, supported by Sarah Quinnell and Emma Lopez.

Chris Simmons said:

We are delighted to have advised BDX Group and Socrates Holdings on this strategic acquisition. Transactions involving international businesses require careful planning and close collaboration between all parties, and it was a pleasure to work alongside the management team and their advisers to help bring the deal to a successful conclusion.

Socrates Imaging is a well-established business with a strong reputation in its market. We look forward to seeing the company continue to grow and develop under its new ownership.

The acquisition further demonstrates DMH Stallard’s strength in advising businesses, investors and management teams on complex corporate transactions, including mergers and acquisitions, cross-border deals and growth investments.

Marc Dixon, Director of Socrates Holdings Limited said:

We are extremely grateful to Chris, Sarah, Emma and the wider DMH Stallard team for their advice, professionalism and commitment throughout the transaction. Their commercial approach, responsiveness and attention to detail were invaluable in helping us navigate the complexities of the deal and achieve a successful outcome. We greatly appreciated having such a trusted legal team alongside us at every stage of the process.
