The management team of Oxfordshire-based Halarose, a provider of electoral registration and election management software and services to local authorities, has completed the purchase of a controlling interest in the company. The terms of the deal have not been disclosed.

Managing director William Quinton, who took over the management of the company from his father almost three years ago and led the MBO, said: “The new structure of the company puts us in the best possible position to build on our hard-earned reputation for consistently delivering first-class customer service.”

Law firm Morgan Cole, which has offices in Wales and the south of England, acted for Halarose on the MBO, led by partner Michael Stace.

Thomas Quinton, sales and marketing director of Halarose, said: “The Morgan Cole Corporate team is living proof that you do not need to go to a London firm to find corporate lawyers of the highest calibre. Their standards reflect our own values. Like us, they deliver the highest-quality service through a dynamic team of experienced people who are totally committed to the common goal of excellence.”

Mark Donougher and Rachel Lockwood, partners at chartered accountant Oury Clark, led the financial due diligence on the MBO – a transaction financed by the Co-operative Bank.
