Metric Capital Partners (MCP), a European private capital group, has invested in James Grant Group, a provider of management and professional services to TV, music, literary and sport clients.
Established over 25 years ago, London-based James Grant offers a range of services to its clients, who are some of the leading individuals in the broadcast, music, literary, social and sports sectors.
The group provides bespoke advice on a complete range of areas from career management and planning through to royalty payments and accounts preparation. The group’s finance business arranges funding to production companies and sports institutions, whilst the brand divisions ensure the group delivers a rounded approach in all aspects of client management.
James Grant operates mainly in the UK, with a US soccer management company based in Washington DC.
In the transaction Metric has partnered with James Grant’s management team to buy out the existing financial investor. MCP and management will share ownership of the group going forward.
Fabio Andreottola, partner of MCP, says: “We are pleased to be partnering with James Grant’s talented management team and employees to support the group’s growth strategy. James Grant is an established leader across its key markets, and is best positioned to continue benefiting from the development trends in the entertainment and sport sectors.”
Neil Rodford, CEO of James Grant, says: “Metric prides itself on being relationship based and is driven by long term partnerships – a fundamental reason why we chose them as our new partners."
