We were pleased to support our long-standing client, Defence Holdings plc, a UK software-led defence technology group, on its successful £4 million accelerated bookbuild on the London Stock Exchange.
Defence Holdings is focused on developing and acquiring advanced defence and security capabilities, including AI-driven analytics, secure communications, sensors, and autonomous systems. These proceeds will support further acquisition and investment opportunities and advance the company’s expansion into the UK and European defence markets.
The Fladgate team was led by Corporate Partner David Robinson and Senior Associate David Lee.
David Robinson commented:
"The strong level of investor demand demonstrates confidence in the company's strategy and its position within the rapidly evolving defence technology sector. We look forward to continuing to work with the business as it executes its next phase of growth strategy."
Brian Stockbridge, Executive Director of Defence Holdings plc, commented:
"David Robinson, David Lee and the wider Fladgate team provided exceptional support throughout the transaction. Their commercial insight, responsiveness and deep understanding of both our growth ambitions and the defence technology sector were invaluable in helping us achieve a successful outcome. We look forward to working together as Defence Holdings continues its next phase of growth."
