A new chapter for Quicksilva
Quicksilva founder Gayna Hart said: “I have developed Quicksilva for 20 years and I feel now it is time to see how far it can go with the backing of an investor.”
Post-acquisiton, all 25 Quicksilva employees joined the Harris Healthcare Group alongside other UK acquisitions K2 Medical Systems and Genial Genetics.
James Pugh advised the shareholders of Quicksilva on the transaction, with legal advice by Woking law firm Mackrell Turner Garrett. Price and terms are undisclosed.
