Moore Kingston Smith advises CACI Limited on acquisition of Cyber-duck Limited

Moore Kingston Smith has advised CACI Limited on its acquisition of Cyber-Duck Limited. Cyber-Duck is a revolutionary UK-based digital transformation agency providing User Interface (UI) design, User Experience (UX) and human-centred service design.

This marks the fifth acquisition for CACI in recent years, with Moore Kingston Smith advising on their acquisition of Bitweave Limited earlier this year. Due to our good relationship with CACI and our trusted expertise in the digital transformation sector, we were well placed to provide due diligence services on this transaction.

This transaction aligns with CACI’s growth strategy to expand its portfolio and deepen its reputation in the digital space. Cyber-Duck’s commitment to purpose and “doing digital better” as well as the addition of the ISO14001:2015 environmental sustainability aligns with CACI’s ESG aspirations. Not only this, but their skills and track-record of service delivery to their clients made them an excellent fit for CACI’s growing Digital Solutions segment.

Mike Orton, and Adele Hebditch from Moore Kingston Smith’s corporate finance team provided financial due diligence with a focus on customers and revenue streams. Thomas Acland and Sofie Wimborne from the corporate tax team provided tax due diligence and advice on the transaction. 

Sanjeev Gandhi, Corporate Development Director at CACI, remarked: “It was a pleasure working with Paul, Mike, Adele and the team at MKS. As usual they supported us with excellent and pragmatic financial and tax advice throughout the deal. We look forward to working with them again.”

Adele Hebditch, Associate Director in our Corporate Finance team, commented: “It was great to work with Sanjeev and the team at CACI again on a second acquisition this year, and we’re looking forward to following their continued growth journey with their newly enhanced service offering following the acquisition of Cyber-Duck.” To find out more about our digital sector expertise, read some of our most recent case studies.
