“We are thrilled to be able to partner with Robin and his teams in Light & Living’s new phase of growth. We see numerous opportunities to gain market share in existing and new geographies and also to expand into new product categories, either organically or through acquisitions,” said Mathieu Develay, Investment Director at BlueGem Capital Partners.
