Unigestion acquired Babington, a UK apprenticeship provider, from RJD Partners.
Headquartered in Birmingham, England, Babington’s services span apprenticeships, short qualifications, and professional training courses. The company has recently secured “major” contracts with telecoms, infrastructure, and public sector clients, according to Unigestion. In the last year, Babington supported more than 9,000 learners.
“Apprenticeships are integral to addressing skills gaps and improving employee retention at a time when employees’ careers are ever evolving and talent is in high demand,” said Pieter-Jan Frederix, partner at Unigestion. “We are thrilled to be partnering with the management team of Babington and support the further investment in products and partnerships, as well as to support a buy-and-build strategy that will propel Babington’s non-levy funded offering.”
Headquartered in Geneva, Unigestion is a independent, specialist asset manager.
RJD Partners, based in London, is an independent lower mid-market private equity investor.
