We have been fortunate to work with Posturite for many years, providing support for its legal needs as it has grown from strength to strength, and are delighted to have assisted on this transaction.”
Ian Fletcher-Price, CEO of Posturite, commented:
“We are confident that this move will provide a springboard to further growth for Workrite, and Ideagen is a great fit and home for Workrite. Once again Abigail and the DMHS team have provided sage advice and support along the way, working with us to ensure the best interests of all parties.”
The DMHS team also included Giedre Doig (corporate), John Yates (commercial) and William Walsh (employment).
