Lighthouse advised Electra Quoted Management and Greg Tufnell, the former CEO of fashion group Marchpole and ex-Managing Director of Mothercare, on the acquisition of Peter Werth, the menswear casual clothing brand. 

Speaking about the transaction, James Edsberg said, “Electra asked us to focus on a number of key issues relating the brand’s competitors and its positioning in the menswear fashion market.  The business has huge potential to extend its range and to seek new opportunities internationally.  Its heritage as a quintessentially English brand provides a strong platform for its future”. 

The Lighthouse team comprised analysts Chris Chappell, Jackie Naghten and Claudia Goodman.  Clydesdale Bank provided additional backing for the deal.
