Forvis Mazars provides buy-side due diligence support to Warpaint on its acquisition of Brand Architekts

Forvis Due diligence team is delighted to announce that it provided buy-side services to Warpaint London plc, supporting its successful acquisition of Brand Architekts Group plc via a Court-sanctioned scheme of arrangement which became effective last week.

AIM-listed Warpaint sells own brand cosmetics under the lead brand names of W7 and Technic.

With a strong track record of successfully acquiring, integrating and growing businesses with complementary brands, offerings and customers, Warpaint identified the opportunity to acquire Brand Architekts’ portfolio of high-quality health, beauty and personal care brands.

Warpaint’s recommended offer was announced on 5 December 2024 and was approved by fellow AIM-listed Brand Architekts’ shareholders in mid-January.

David Preston of Forvis Mazars said, “It was a privilege to be appointed to support Warpaint London plc on its acquisition of Brand Architekts.  The rationale for the deal was clear from the outset and we look forward to seeing the enlarged business prosper in the years ahead.”

Warpaint’s Chief Financial Officer, Neil Rodol, commented, “Having followed Brand Architekts for some time, we believe this acquisition will further bolster Warpaint’s growth opportunities.  It was the first time we’ve worked with Forvis Mazars; their availability and responsiveness made it an extremely positive experience. The deadline was particularly tight given the nature of the transaction, Forvis Mazars understood this from the onset and applied resources to make sure delivery of the financial and tax due diligence was in good time and not an issue.”
