Irish recruitment and technology services firm Berkley Group, part of the Rethink Group, has been sold to a director and several new investors, according to the Independent.ie. Berkley director Paddy O'Connell and the investors: Arthur Griffin, John Kennefick and John Fitzpatrick, bought the business from Rethink Group, with financial support coming from another UK company, Capital Step. Mazars Corporate Finance advised the transaction. "We have ambitious plans to grow the business up to €50m turnover within three years and double our contractor base within that period as well," O’Connell said.

Berkley was acquired by the Rethink Group in 2011.
