CHARLESTON, SC--(Marketwired - May 27, 2014) - Gold Ridge Asset Management, a Charleston-based private equity firm, announced today it has made an investment in SIB Development & Consulting, a Charleston-based cost reduction consulting company.
SIB Development & Consulting was founded in 2008 and works with restaurant groups, hospitals, universities, government agencies, Fortune 500 companies, and other organizations to analyze and reduce their fixed monthly costs. Under the new arrangement, Gold Ridge Asset Management will become deeply involved in the day-to-day management of the company.
"The partners at Gold Ridge bring a significant amount of management experience and we are excited about having them as an active part of our team as we look to capitalize on our existing model while also expanding into new sectors," said Dan Schneider, Founder and CEO of SIB.
The investment in SIB fits into Gold Ridge's focus on investing in stable, profitable companies located on the east coast of the United States. "We typically look to invest in companies who have built a solid platform and need a partner to provide strategic and financial support to take them into their next phase of growth," said Michael Knox, President of Gold Ridge. "SIB is a perfect fit for those criteria, and we're also pleased to be supporting a local Charleston company."
"We believe that the existing infrastructure will allow SIB to expand into new sectors and provide their clients with additional services to help manage their costs," said Manish Aggarwal, Managing Partner of Gold Ridge. "With our financial services background, we recognize the value of cost reduction and we look forward to introducing SIB's services to the portfolio companies of private equity firms, real estate investment trusts, and other organizations with multiple locations."
