Eaton Square congratulates the shareholders of Shelde Pty Ltd (Shelde) on gaining growth investment from Pemba Capital Partners (Pemba).
Shelde was advised by Reece Adnams, Eaton Square Managing Principal in Melbourne and Karl Schutte Eaton Square Principal in Sydney.
Shelde Pty Ltd
Shelde is an integrated digital, security and data analytics consultancy. Shelde assists Australia’s largest financial institutions, government agencies, telecommunications companies and similar large, complex organisations to protect data and source new digital opportunities through data insights.
Founded in Melbourne in 2010, Shelde has grown to over 100 staff operating from locations in Melbourne, Sydney and Canberra.
The growing demand for cyber security products and services in Australia and worldwide has enabled rapid growth in Shelde. In order to further accelerate this growth in a sustainable fashion, Shelde has accessed growth capital from Pemba.
Bruce Williams commented: “Central to our motivation for this transaction was identifying a partner that could help us grow more quickly than if we moved forward on our own”.
“We see that this move will enable us to gain scale and reach to support our clients across their organisations and services lines. Integrating our data security and analytics services across new application development through to legacy systems is key to the protection customers are looking for, and this investment will help us grow and continue to expand our service offerings”.
