Why Did Scrubs on Wheels Hire Nolan?
- The owners of Scrubs sought a liquidity event and an acquisition partner that would continue to drive growth within the company’s niche healthcare apparel market.
- The ownership engaged Nolan in the fourth quarter of 2019 to sell the business to a strategic buyer or private equity investor.
- Nolan helped Scrubs navigate the pandemic and ultimately delivered an exit partner that could help facilitate rapid growth while continuing the company’s legacy from a product, operational, and cultural perspective.
What Value Did Nolan Deliver?
- Nolan’s sale process delivered Birch Swing Capital (BSC), a family office that makes growth and buyout investments in companies with enduring business models and strong management teams.
- BSC has a particular interest in the consumer products, niche manufacturing and business services sectors, spaces where they can add operational value, partnering with management for the next phase of growth.
