We’re very excited about the growth prospects for all three businesses which we believe will thrive with a renewed focus on their core respective markets.”

Briony Lydon, Managing Director at Aquest, added: “We’re delighted to become part of Inspirit Capital’s portfolio. We’re looking forward to continuing our growth journey with Inspirit Capital’s backing and support.
