On May 13 2025, after a thorough marketing process, Mike Lennon and Jimmy Saunders of KR8 successfully sold the Group’s business and assets to Org Group, a global organisational engineering firm which owns the Morgan McKinley brand.

Although the business had navigated the Covid-19 pandemic, recent market challenges as well as a change in key personnel had led to a reduction in revenues, meaning the central UK business was unsustainable in its current form despite management’s best efforts to realign the overhead base.

Mike Lennon, Managing Director at KR8 Advisory, commented:

“The sale to Org Group presents a great opportunity to continue to grow the global Venturi business, furthering its mission to assist tech-based businesses in sourcing the best talent. "

KR8 Advisory, launched in January 2025, is led by an experienced team of advisory-driven restructuring professionals with offices in Manchester, London and Leeds. The firm operates as part of the Restructuring division of K3 Capital Group, a multi-disciplinary professional services firm with four divisions, including Business Sales, Tax & Transaction Services, and Technology Solutions.
