In May 2021, Macquarie Capital Principal Finance disposed part of its stake to Warburg Pincus, but continues to hold a material stake and is jointly driving the business agenda along with Warburg Pincus and management.

We look forward to taking the business to a new level with the support of Macquarie’s Principal Finance team. With access to the capital and expertise brought by the Macquarie platform we are positioned to capitalise on the strong opportunities we see in health and safety testing and compliance."
