Addleshaw Goddard has advised Lloyds Development Capital (LDC), private equity specialist, on its acquisition of ATG Access, a Haydock-based designer and manufacturer of anti-ram, access control and high security vehicle barrier systems.

The Addleshaw Goddard team, led by corporate partner Paul Medlicott with support from tax partner Ed Jenkins and corporate associate Chris Hardman, acted for the LDC throughout the transaction.

The deal delivers fresh investment to support ATG Access' strategic business objectives and ambitious UK and international growth plan. The company plans to capitalise on the rapid expansion in major infrastructure investment in the Middle and Far East, South America and Africa, as well as demand in the UK and US for both new and retro-fit projects.

Paul Medlicott commenting on the deal, said: "The deal marks a significant milestone for ATG Access. With investment from LDC, the ambitious business can seize growing opportunities in the UK and new emerging markets, whilst increasing market share in a high-growth sector."
