Buy-out of Q-matic

Advantage Capital has just completed its latest investment, the buy-out of Q-matic, the world’s leading provider of systems for queue and customer flow management.

Q-matic has revenues of £40m and sells to more than 60 countries through its 10 subsidiaries and network of distributors, making it the world’s largest player in the growing field of queue management. Its customer list includes some of the world’s largest retailers, banks, healthcare providers and government agencies. An increasing number of organisations have recognised the value that effective queue management can deliver to both the service proposition and the bottom line, making this a rapidly growing market.

Martin Bodenham and Trevor Jones, founders of Advantage Capital, said: “Having already invested in QM Group, the UK’s largest queue management company, we had real insight into the opportunities within this exciting market. We are delighted to have made a second investment in this sector, this time backing the world leader. We have high hopes for this investment.”
