According to Microlease, the acquisition will
further expand its reach in the aerospace and defence markets.
The acquisition of Hamilton Hall by
Microlease, which is backed by Lloyds Development Capital (LDC),
the private equity arm of Lloyds TSB, is part of the firm’s
expansion drive.
In February 2011, Leasing Life
reported that Microlease had set its sights on the Middle East,
Africa, Latin America and Asia, where the use of mobile devices is
growing rapidly. The company also appointed three new staff in
recent months.
Commenting on the Hamilton Hall deal,
Microlease CEO Nigel Brown said: “There is a growing need for asset
management in our specific markets and we see the asset management
arm of the business growing very strongly over the next three to
five years.
