About the client: Revelan Group is a UK multi-let industrials and logistics owner, with a c. £200m portfolio of industrial assets in the UK.
About the transaction: Akur Capital ran an extensive process to identify and deliver an appropriate equity partner for the Revelan Group management team during 2017.

This was a unique opportunity for a sector specialist like Ares Management to take advantage of the value add nature of taking an existing UK industrial focused portfolio into a pure play industrial logistics platform; unlocking the income and capital value inherent within the assets.
