Supporting Rapidrop Global’s next stage of growth
Rapidrop Global is an international designer and manufacturer of water-based fire suppression products. We advised the business and its shareholders, Daniel Gill and Rebecca Park, throughout the investment process, from the early stages of considering the proposed transaction and appointing corporate finance advisers through to negotiation and completion.
The cross-border nature of the business required a coordinated approach across England and Wales, Ireland, the UAE and Qatar. Working with colleagues in our UAE offices, we provided strategic and commercially focused advice alongside bespoke structuring solutions to address the regulatory, tax and commercial considerations involved.
Our full-service team advised on M&A, financing, commercial contracts, employment and pensions, intellectual property, real estate and tax, together with pre- and post-completion restructuring.
The investment provides a platform for Rapidrop’s next phase of development, supporting its ambitions for further international growth, product development and operational expansion.

An award-winning transaction
The significance of the transaction was recognised at the 2025 Insider Central & East Dealmakers Awards, where the investment in Rapidrop by BGF was named Private Equity / Venture Capital Deal of the Year. Rapidrop, which was founded in 1983, has grown significantly in recent years, with the business doubling in size since 2017. BGF's investment provides further backing for the next stage of that growth.
