We are delighted to announce our first completion for 2026, as Leyland Capital has advised the Management Team in a Group carve-out for a well-regarded technology development company, who specialises in sports and gaming.
With active projects for large organisations across the globe in the sports and gaming industry, Project Canton is an undisclosed transaction, to ensure the smooth transition for the company, its clients and the current Management Team.
The Group and the Management Team decided that now was the right time, to explore potential options in separating the individual company from the Group, to provide the flexibility for new opportunities that are coming down the pipeline for all of the shareholders involved in both the Group and the Company.
The two companies will continue to work closely together in the future on a number of live and pipeline mandates, as the Management Team continue this growth journey.
The Shareholders have decided that now is the right time for Project Canton to continue its growth journey as a standalone entity, with the continued expertise of the Management Team. The opportunities this will present the wider Group and the Company are exciting, and we are looking forward to what the future will bring. We will continue to work closely with the Group and wish the team the best of luck moving forward.
Christian Hitchen, Managing Director of Leyland Capital M&A advised on the transaction alongside James Down and James Lonsdale Partners at Hill Dickinson, and Peter Hully, Partner at Claritas.
