Continuing the proven ‘Buy, Improve, Sell’ strategy.

The Rosebank Co-Founders are previous leading members of the senior management team of Melrose, a company which is listed on the London Stock Exchange. Since being founded in 2003, Melrose created significant shareholder value through its ‘Buy, Improve, Sell’ strategy, under the leadership of the Rosebank Co-Founders.

With Melrose becoming a highly successful pure-play aerospace group, positioned to deliver further profitable growth, two of the three original Melrose founders and four other leading members of its senior management team now intend to recreate the same successful ‘Buy, Improve, Sell’ business model which they pursued at Melrose, within Rosebank.

Members of this team led all of Melrose’s acquisitions and the successful implementation of its strategy since its establishment in 2003. The Directors believe that Rosebank will be able to quickly identify appropriate acquisition opportunities having previously been able to do so.
