Key Capital Partners invests in Green Group (Partners)

On 18 August 2026, Key Capital Partners acquired a minority stake in Green Group, a London-based recruitment specialist for the global green economy, in a transaction valuing the business on revenues exceeding . The deal provides liquidity for existing shareholders while injecting growth capital to accelerate global expansion across the Americas, EMEA, and APAC. Proceeds will support tech-enablement—including AI-driven operational tools—the scale-up of contract workforce solutions, and global recruiter onboarding and training. The transaction aligns with Key’s focus on human capital assets in sustainability, following prior investments in Templine, Hallam Medical, EarthStream Global, NursePlus, and Sparta Global. As part of the transaction, Oliver Watson (former Michael Page executive) joins as Chair alongside Non-Executive Director Volker Beckers CBE. Operational continuity is maintained with Dan Potts remaining as CFO, Nic Yates as COO, and Stephen Redmond as CMO. The deal was led by Key's London team (Philip Duquenoy, James Excell, and Ellie Nicholls). Addleshaw Goddard acted as buyer legal counsel, Ward Hadaway advised the sellers, and due diligence was conducted by Cortus Transaction Services, Claritas, and RPL. Supported by structural tailwinds in renewable infrastructure and ESG commitments, Green Group will leverage Key’s institutional platform to drive market share via permanent, contract, and RPO models, while pursuing bolt-on acquisitions to deepen sector coverage.
