Grant Instruments set for further growth after investment coup

No sums are being disclosed but the alliance will unlock further investment to underpin fresh opportunities for growth, innovation and enhanced customer offerings in the UK and US. That spells more products for Grant’s innovation pipeline and further strengthening of its market position.

Grant has 59 staff and says the deal will help it grow the team globally – specifically in these territories. The firm is active throughout Europe and America as well as in APAC locations such as Australasia and SE Asia. It also has offices in India.

David Newble, Chairman of Royston Instruments Ltd, and Mark Gilligan led the creation of Royston Instruments and acquisition of Grant Instruments. Mark Davison continues to be the CEO of Grant Instruments and has also invested in Royston Instruments.

Newble said: “We are delighted to partner with Grant Instruments, a company with an outstanding heritage in scientific instrumentation.

“We see tremendous potential in this collaboration and look forward to supporting Grant Instruments as they expand their product offering, enhance their innovation pipeline, and strengthen their market position.”

Grant says it will continue to operate as usual, with no disruption to customers, maintaining the same trusted team, processes and commitment to quality.

Bill Snider of BroadOak Capital Partners, says: “David and Mark have put together a great plan for one of the most venerable companies in the life sciences tools industry. We are happy to provide Royston and Grant with support to realise their shared vision.”

Mark Davison adds: “This acquisition and investment marks a pivotal moment in our journey. With Royston Instruments' support, we are well-positioned to scale operations, accelerate technological advancements, and continue delivering high-quality solutions to our customers. It’s an exciting time for Grant Instruments as we embark on this next phase of growth.”
