“The past two years of our partnership with SEC Newgate has been a positive period for us and the broader group, ” Hawkins said.
“We’ve evolved significantly as an agency and seen them make a massively positive transition to a strong international organisation with a bright future. We have huge admiration for Fiorenzo and the team, and what they have achieved in such a short time.
“In 2112 we’ve built a solid business with fantastic clients, a brilliant team of people and we have big ambitions to extend our geography and services to support our clients wherever they need us, while still operating a ‘good’ business built upon the right values, which is something we’re very proud of.”
SEC Newgate CEO, Fiorenzo Tagfliabue added: “The separation of 2112 from the Group via an MBO will enable both organisations to pursue their individual strategies that follow different objectives. We have great respect for the 2112 team and would like to wish them every success with their future endeavours.”
