London-based investment company ThinkersHQ acquires major share in React Communications

ThinkersHQ, the disruptive boutique investment and management business - founded by serial entrepreneur David-Joseph Brown - has acquired a major share in React Communications, a hybrid Tech communications agency based in Hampshire.

The new ownership, along with its unique support model, will enable React to strengthen its growth strategy, through the expansion of the team, refining its service offering and the broadening of its operational footprint – the first stage of which will be the opening of a new office in Clerkenwell, London.

React, under the leadership of Founder and CEO Layla-Jane Stacey, has carved out a reputation for being an expert in its field, working with, and alongside many fledgling start-ups, entrepreneurs, social enterprises and global brands in the science, technology and innovation markets. Established in 2009, React has experienced year-on-year growth and has established a client portfolio of truly innovative organisations. Layla-Jane commented: “We are very excited to be joining ThinkersHQ as we enter this period of growth and expansion. With the strategic support of the experienced team at ThinkersHQ we now have the perfect platform to take our business to the next level. It is business as usual for React, and I look forward to seeing our clients benefit from what this investment brings.”

ThinkersHQ, based in EC1, supports a growing portfolio of SME businesses at different stages of development, from start-up through growth, expansion and diversification phases. The ThinkersHQ support model recognises that every business is different, every entrepreneur is unique and every stage of development requires flexibility. The ThinkersHQ management team comprises a team of experts, advisors and mentors, experienced in growing businesses and in developing the key people within these companies – allowing both to reach their full potential.

ThinkersHQ CEO, Alistair Cane, commented: “Our model is designed to support dynamic and ambitious individuals. From the moment we first started talking to Layla it was clear that she and her team would be a perfect addition to our portfolio. Layla has a drive and tenacity to succeed which has earned her sustained success across a dynamic career to date. And we are delighted to be working with her and her team at the start of this next stage of their journey. The technology and innovation sectors are a natural environment for a number of our portfolio companies and this acquisition allows us to extend the support we provide to these vibrant and expanding segments. This is an extremely exciting period in the growth of React, and we are very much looking forward to seeing Layla, her team and the company flourish moving forwards.”
