Lighthouse Advisory Partners, a specialist M&A and strategy advisory firm, is elated to announce its role as the exclusive buy-side M&A advisor to Causeway Technologies in their recent acquisition of Buchanan Computing. The acquisition of Buchanan Computing, a leading provider of permanent traffic engineering and highways management solutions, was completed on October 30, 2024.
Causeway Technologies, a UK-based company, is dedicated to digitalizing the construction, maintenance, and traffic management processes. Their vision is to connect their one.network platform with Buchanan’s flagship product, ParkMap, to create the UK’s first unified platform for Digital Traffic Regulation Orders (D-TROs).
In addition to ParkMap, Buchanan Computing also offers SignPlot and SignLoad, two industry-leading products. The integration of SignLoad with Causeway’s Professional Design Suite (PDS) will result in a single solution that will improve infrastructure design productivity for local authorities, consultants, and sign manufacturers. This acquisition marks the fifth strategic acquisition by Causeway since Five Arrows invested in the company in 2021.
Phil Brown, Chief Executive of Causeway, expressed his excitement about the acquisition, stating, “The acquisition of Buchanan Computing reinforces our commitment to delivering a fully integrated, end-to-end solution for Highways Authorities and Contractors. By bringing our vision to life, we empower local authorities to operate more efficiently, maximizing their limited budget and resources. This not only improves the level of service but also benefits the public with better-maintained infrastructure and more timely, accurate information about the road network, reducing congestion, journey times, and carbon emissions.”
Lighthouse Advisory Partners played a pivotal role in the acquisition, serving as Causeway’s lead advisor. Mat Truche-Gordon, partner at Lighthouse, stated, “We are delighted to have acted as lead advisor to Causeway Technologies on the acquisition of Buchanan Computing. We’ve had the pleasure of working with Causeway on four transactions since Five Arrows’ investment. Lighthouse is thrilled to support Causeway in quickly establishing itself as the leader in digital transformation in the UK’s infrastructure sector.”
Les Elby, media contact for Lighthouse Advisory Partners, stated, “2024 has been a strong year for Lighthouse, with the successful completion of three technology transactions and support for several deals with commercial due diligence. This experience uniquely positions us to help our clients navigate complex strategic opportunities.”
