“We are delighted to be joining Shearwater at such a pivotal time in Brookcourt’s development and we very much look forward to realising our ambitions for the business as part of the wider group.”

Shearwater chairman David Williams said: “This transformational acquisition provides us with a substantial platform from which we can grow organically and by further acquisition.
