A&O Shearman advises Providence on financing for its investment in SCG
A&O Shearman advised Providence Equity Partners L.L.C. (Providence), a specialist private equity investment firm focused on growth-oriented media, communications, education, and technology companies, on the financing for its significant investment in SCG, a leading UK provider of communications, connectivity, and IT services for small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs).

SCG supports approximately 35,000 businesses across the UK through an integrated technology offering spanning mobile, broadband, cloud communications, IT services, and cyber security. The company serves organizations across a broad range of sectors, including healthcare, education, professional services, hospitality, and construction, helping customers manage mission-critical communications and technology through a single trusted partner.

The investment from Providence will continue to support SCG’s ongoing disciplined acquisition strategy. Combined with its software-led expansion in the healthcare and education sectors, SCG is well positioned to accelerate growth, strengthening its status as a managed service provider of choice for the 35,000 businesses it supports. 

The A&O Shearman team was led by partner Nick Hallam alongside senior associate Ramone Bedi and associate Sophie Hilton
