Good morning, Nina Lindholm here with the Europe Wire from the London newsroom.
Heightened threats such as civil unrest and geopolitical tensions highlight the need for good security systems. Cybersecurity deals are a common occurrence here at PE Hub, but this morning we kick off with a deal that converges physical security and software, as Keensight Capital acquires a minority stake in a physical security information management software business.
We then switch to a different type of security, insurance. RedBird Capital Partners portfolio company Bishop Street Underwriters is set to acquire a London-based specialty-focused managing general agent.
We’ll finish with a traffic management deal, with Equistone-backed Buko adding on Hooke Holdings.
Safe and secure
We kick off with a deal in the security segment this morning, as Keensight Capital has acquired a minority stake in Advancis Software & Services, a global physical security information management software provider, alongside founders Hartmut Noell and Jan Meiswinkel.

Road safety
As the temperatures drop here in the UK and the roads get icy, what better way to finish than a traffic management deal. Equistone Partners Europe portfolio company Buko Traffic & Safety has acquired Hooke Holdings, the parent of the operating subsidiary and brand Hooke Highways, a traffic management provider.

That’s all from me. Obey Martin Manayiti will bring you the US edition of the Wire later today, and Craig McGlashan will be with you tomorrow with the Europe Wire.
Cheers,
Nina
