Investment Week parent split up and sold

Incisive Media is being sold to two companies funded by U.S. private equity firm Eagletree.

Events business Arc has bought Incisive brands, including Investment Week, Professional Pensions, Professional Adviser and Business Green.

While, B2B technology information and marketing business The Channel Co. will be buying its tech brands, including CRN UK, Computing and Channel Partner Insight.

Incisive Media CEO Jonathon Whiteley said:

“Following a very successful period of growth over the last few years, Incisive Media is now ready for its next stage of development.

“The global platforms of Arc and The Channel Company offer natural homes for Incisive Media’s brands and people. Our audience and customer centric approach to growing and supporting the end markets that we serve fits squarely with the philosophies of both Arc and The Channel Company.

“This split allows us to support that growth in a relevant and focused way. I am excited about the future and look forward to working with Simon and his team at Arc to take Incisive Media into this next and exciting chapter.”
