London investment firm glosses up with nail and beauty academy acquisition

A London investment holding company has announced its acquisition of a nail and beauty training academy.

MBH Corporation is completing a 100 per cent acquisition of NVQ Nail & Beauty Specialists Training Academy Ltd (NVQ).

NVQ is a specialist in providing a range of beauty training courses with courses accredited by the Vocational Training Charitable Trust (VTCT).

Within MBH’s Education vertical, NVQ will reside under Acacia Training Limited as a tactical acquisition to help further boost its expansion plans, following its first global acquisition of Learning Wings in Singapore in June 2020.

Victoria Sylvester, managing director at Acacia Training Limited commented: “NVQ is a fantastic business and we are delighted they will be joining the group as part of our tactical acquisition strategy.

“We can see clear opportunities for us to learn from each other as we look to further grow our business footprint within the education sector.”

Callum Laing, CEO of MBH Corporation, said: “This is the latest step in the expansion of our education vertical which has long been a big part of our plans as we move forward.

“The depth of experience and knowledge within NVQ will serve the wider MBH portfolio incredibly well as we continue to collaborate as a group during this extraordinary year.”

Amanda Sumner, founder of NVQ, added: “I am thrilled that NVQ Nails & Beauty is now part of the MBH family.

“We are really excited to be part of the group and about the future working in collaboration with Acacia Training and other companies in the group to build on our existing and future opportunities to continue to grow the business.”
