YFM Equity Partners LLP sold Gill Marine Holdings Ltd. to the Myers family office for an undisclosed amount.

The family office was working in partnership with Pop Capital, a private equity firm focused on luxury brands.

YFM and its shareholders received legal advice from Richard Medd and Sam Sharp at Browne Jacobson LLP. Ash Burman of Financo provided financial advice.

Osborne Clarke, Deloitte, Macfarlanes, PwC and Cains provided advice to the Myers family office. KPMG and Pragma Consulting provided financial due diligence support and commercial due diligence support, respectively, on the transaction.
