Praesidian Capital Europe (“Praesidian”), a leading provider of growth capital in the United Kingdom and Northern Europe, announced today it has successfully exited its investment in Helideck Certification Agency Limited (“HCA”), an Aberdeen based provider of inspection and certification services for offshore fixed and mobile helicopter landing areas.

Serkan Dede, Investment Director of Praesidian Capital, stated: “We are pleased to have worked closely with HCA since our initial investment in 2014 and to create value for our investors along the way.”

David Dobbin, Owner of HCA, commented, “Our partnership with Praesidian enabled us to carve out and build a leading independent inspection and certification business to the offshore Oil and Gas sector. The result has well exceeded our expectations and set the stage for future expansion and growth.”

According to Jason Drattell, Praesidian Founder and Managing Partner, “We are delighted to have supported David and his team in building a leading business in its industry and wish the team all the best for its future growth ambitions.”
