Goldenhill International M&A Advisors today announced that it acted as exclusive M&A advisor to Gleeson Recruitment Group, in its recently completed sale of a majority equity stake to Sellick Partnership, a wholly owned subsidiary of Samsic Group.

Founded in 2011, Gleeson Recruitment Group has built a strong reputation across Executive Search, Interim Management, Transformation and Specialist Recruitment, supporting clients across Accountancy & Finance, Technology, Legal, Human Resources, Marketing, Procurement & Supply Chain, Sales, Property and Life Sciences through its Pharma Partners business.

The investment brings together two highly complementary businesses within the Samsic Group portfolio. Gleeson Recruitment Group and Sellick Partnership share a relationship-led approach, specialist professional services expertise and a commitment to exceptional client and candidate experiences. Together, the businesses create a significant UK specialist recruitment platform, offering national reach, enhanced capabilities across executive search, interim management and professional recruitment, and a shared ambition for continued growth.

Jason Blakey, Co-Founder of Gleeson Recruitment Group, said:

“Deciding to bring in a partner for a business we have spent more than a decade building was a big step, and having the right advisor alongside us made all the difference. Goldenhill guided us through every stage of the process and helped us find the right home for Gleeson in Samsic and Sellick. It was a pleasure to work with the Goldenhill team, whose professionalism and commitment helped deliver a smooth transaction.”
