Palladium Group’s acquisition of Oxford-based White Space Strategy strengthens its commercial consulting practice for private equity and brands.

The integration of these two highly complementary, award-winning businesses, provides the market with unrivalled expertise across Transaction Advisory, Strategy Consulting and Value Creation, bringing data and technology to the fore of the commercial consulting proposition.

It was a pleasure once again working with Mark and the other members of the Next 15 and Palladium teams for this acquisition. This strategic step will firmly establish Palladium as a key contender within the Transaction Advisory, Strategy Consulting, and Value Creation domain. Furthermore, it reinforces Lewis Silkin's exceptional M&A expertise within the advertising and marketing sector.
