Case Study: Meggitt secures political support for its takeover with Pagefield

Meggitt secures politically sensitive takeover support with Pagefield for a £2.7bn deal

Pagefield was hired by Meggitt, an historic British manufacturer, to support the company through the politically sensitive process of its proposed acquisition by the US defence firm Parker-Hannifin.

Pagefield provided strategic counsel and public affairs support, which included finalizing the takeover announcement and facilitating meetings with key government stakeholders. The vendor's work resulted in the takeover being positively received by the Government and Opposition, and it successfully provided necessary reassurances to parliamentary committees about the company's future in the UK.
