The board of R&Q has expressed that this path will likely provide the favourable outcome for its stakeholders.
Marco Capital CEO Simon Minshall said: “The acquisition of Inceptum, a company itself in run-off, by Marco brings financial and operational stability to a complex and challenging situation for the benefit of all stakeholders. Executing a deal in such a complex situation is an example where Marco’s technical skills, experience, track record and outstanding reputation are essential.”
