New territory in sight for Parella-Esquisse
We are pleased to announce an important step in the development of our company: Qualium Investissement will soon be acquiring a stake in Parella-Esquisse.
The arrival of this leading financial sponsor, historically close to Caisse des Dépôts, will give us the means to :
- to accelerate our growth in France and internationally,
- to strengthen our reputation and the reach of our conflict-free property consultancy model,
- and to develop new business lines, always focused on the needs of our user customers.
"Qualium Investissement has perfectly understood our values, our know-how and the advantages of our business model. We are approaching this next stage of our development with enthusiasm. This business project will enable us to strengthen our reputation and involve our employees in the development of Parella-Esquisse. The operation offers us the opportunity to create a real pole of attraction for new talent and to broaden our field of action to new areas", say Olivier Neuman, Michael Kaplan, Bruno Amsellem and Patrick Pelloquin, Partners of Parella.
Why did Qualium Investissement become interested in Parella-Esquisse?
Jean Eichenlaub, President of Qualium Investissement, explains: " We were seduced by the visionary entrepreneurs of Parella. Its innovative "one-stop shop" model, dedicated exclusively to users, is a unique offer and guarantees a transparent and high value-added service to its customers.
"Real estate issues, the second largest expense item after salaries, are at the heart of corporate strategy. In a booming market, Parella has very promising development prospects, which external growth could accelerate", adds Guillaume Peroz, Associate Director of Qualium Investissement.
Parella-Esquisse: consolidated turnover multiplied by 2 in 2 years
Since its creation in 2009, Parella has experienced strong growth, reaching a turnover of €31.5 million in 2017. We support a diverse clientele made up of large private companies, public operators, but also ETIs, SMEs and start-ups.
Led by a team of multidisciplinary consultants, Parella-Esquisse provides a tailor-made response to most corporate real estate issues(opportunity study, valuation,leasesearch/negotiation/renegotiation, design/fitting out of premises, HR change management, etc.). We operate throughout France, but also internationally, thanks to Exis Global, a global real estate consulting platform 100% dedicated to users, established in some twenty countries.
"Companies are increasingly aware of the power of space in their transformation. The evolution of management models and working methods, the development of the employer brand, the new aspirations of employees, the importance of well-being, multi-generational cohabitation and new technologies are both challenges and catalysts that must inspire new development methods and guide the real estate strategy of any organisation. Our clients are particularly sensitive to our ability to grasp these issues in their entirety and with complete objectivity," say the partners.
Such an operation would not have been possible without the trust placed in us by our clients, companies of all sizes and sectors, and we thank them for that.
