Snowdon Partners had a great time reconnecting with our network in Halifax at this week's ACG Atlantic conference. It was another record-breaking year for attendance, with M&A advisors, corporate lawyers, private equity professionals, family offices, and founders all coming together. A special thanks to Mike Fenton - C.F.R.E. and the entire committee for organizing a fantastic event! Some key takeaways from the panels and conversations with attendees included: • While the Canadian macroeconomic landscape remains uncertain, forecasts for 2025 are optimistic, with expectations of positive GDP growth • M&A activity continues to increase across the lower middle market and middle market after a slower-than-expected start to the year • A valuation gap between buyers and sellers persists, however high-quality assets (growing end markets, above average margin profiles) continue to command premium valuations, attracting strong interest from financial sponsors and strategic acquirers

Snowdon Partners is pleased to welcome Jean-Philippe Lejeune as its Private Equity CFO, leading all financial activities of the firm. In the role, JP will be supporting our portfolio companies' financial management, reporting, risk management, systems and and planning, as well as overseeing all fund-level reporting and operational matters.

Nous avons le plaisir d'annoncer que Snowdon Partners a réalisé un investissement important dans l'entreprise montréalaise Urgence Marine Environnement (UME), le principal fournisseur de services environnementaux axés sur le milieu marin au port de Montréal, au port de Québec, et dans les installations maritimes de la région. Fondée en 1970, UME est devenu chef de file dans les services maritimes et environnementaux aux navires empruntant la Voie maritime du Saint-Laurent. Ces services incluent la gestion des déchets marins, le nettoyage spécialisé des navires, l’intervention aux déversements, les services d'amarrage et la location d’équipement marin. L'offre complète de la société, son emplacement stratégique, ses relations clients de longue date et sa réputation de qualité dans des environnements réglementés ont permis à l’entreprise de croître et de gagner la confiance de ses clients, ainsi que d’occuper un rôle vital dans la préservation des écosystèmes marins fragiles. Snowdon est ravi de s’associer au PDG Jonathan Berthiaume , ainsi que l’équipe impressionnante qu’il a bâti au fil des années, pour d'écrire ensemble le prochain chapitre de cette entreprise. Notre objectif commun est d'accélérer la croissance d'UME en investissant dans les RH et les systèmes, ainsi qu'en développant des nouvelles lignes d'activité et une présence étendue pour mieux servir ses clients industriels. Nous avons hâte de nous joindre à l'équipe d'UME! cc: Dan Chetrit , Alexandre Minville , Adam Rankine, CAIA, CIM , Sarah Campanile

Snowdon Partners was happy to host our third Spinvitational networking event this month, this time for our top M&A relationships in Vancouver. Starting back in 2023, we held our inaugural event in Montreal, followed by our Toronto spin earlier this year. Three unique events with great turnouts to show some much-deserved appreciation for the connections we have made across Canada. Big thank you to RIDE CYCLE CLUB for hosting this one and putting on an amazing class, and to all our attendees that joined in Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal!

Snowdon Partners hosted its second Spinvitational featuring our top M&A relationships across Toronto this week. After a very successful event back in Montreal in 2023, we thought our friends in Toronto deserved the same unique Snowdon treatment. Thanks so much to Sweat and Tonic for hosting and a big shout out to all the firms and teams that were able to join. Next stop Vancouver...?
