Meggitt Case Study

Since becoming a Buchanan client, Meggitt has grown in value from circa £150 million to over £2 billion. As one of the leading manufacturers of aerospace equipment and sensing and defence systems, Meggitt's consistent track record of strong financial performance supported by organic and acquisitive growth has seen its profile and presence enhanced within the investment community.

Having built on a successful strategy of increasing its presence in long-term growth markets through proprietary product development reinforced by strategic acquisitions, Meggitt is now well placed to capitalise on strong aftermarket sales from a globally diverse product base.

Buchanan has worked closely with Meggitt's executive board to support and initiate a coordinated financial communication programme which includes both financial calendar activity and M&A execution.

Recently Buchanan advised on the $1.8 billion acquisition of K&F Industries, a leading integrated supplier of original equipment and aftermarket parts and services for the global aerospace and defence industry. This particular transaction was structured to coincide with Meggitt's preliminary results announcement thus creating a wider platform for management to communicate to a broader investor base. 

Buchanan coordinated financial media and analyst relations whilst producing support material in the form of Q&A and key messaging.
