“33 years after founding the business in 1991, I am immensely proud of what TLC has become. The business is the global leader in experience-based rewards and is set to continue growing strongly. I am particularly proud of our culture which is the foundation on which the business has been built. I look forward to seeing the team flourish as the company moves into the next chapter, in partnership with bd-capital.”
Nick True, Founder, TLC Worldwide
In an ever more challenging and restrictive climate for brands to link in with their consumers, the value of a good deal remains, with TLC Worldwide tapping into this through its unique offering of reward campaigns and loyalty programmes to major global players. This is a major completion in a what has been a slow market and it was great for our specialist TMT team at BDO to work with Cannacord Genuity Results, CIL and the team at TLC, as well as bd-capital to see this to a successful conclusion. We continue to enjoy working with high growth globally focused businesses looking to improve the links between brands and consumers. Best of luck to bd-capital and TLC on the next stage of their journey together!
