UK-based international recruitment specialist group Austin International today announced the successful completion of a transformative investment by Twenty20 Capital, a European specialist investment fund focussed on the human capital services sector.

Austin International is the mother brand to two specialist recruitment powerhouses, Austin Fraser, specialising in technology, and Austin Vita, specialising in medical technology. According to the group, the move positions it for enhanced growth and success in the years ahead.

Earlier this year, Twenty20 Capital completed a deal with UK staffing firm Impellam Group to acquire its regional staffing businesses in the UK (Tate, Blue Arrow Group, Chadwick Nott, Career Teachers) and its healthcare staffing business in the UK, Ireland and APAC (Medacs Global Group).

“With a track record of strategic investments and optimisation of human capital businesses, this investment by Twenty20 Capital demonstrates its vision for fostering ongoing sustainable growth, whilst securing the long-term longevity of the Austin International brand,” Austin International stated.

Peter Hart, CEO of Austin International said, “This is a partnership for future growth. The synergies shared underscore our united commitment to delivering exceptional solutions and maintaining a reputation for excellence. It’s a significant milestone which will propel the business towards a future of ambitious advancement across its vast geographical footprint”.

Tristan Ramus, founder and investment principal at Twenty20 Capital said, “In a demanding, ever-advancing market, where talent attraction and retention is increasingly important; this aligning of a shared vision looks to bolster Austin International’s growth capabilities whilst enhancing their industry-leading service”.

Financial details of the investment were not disclosed.
