Former managing director Giles Foden will continue to play a key role in the business and maintain relationships with customers.<\/p>\n<p>The investment is intended to support the company\u2019s growth strategy, including strengthening partnerships with existing clients and exploring new opportunities within the packaging market.<\/p>\n<p>Owen Newton-Hill from Continuance Capital said: \u201cQuantum represented an exciting opportunity because it operates in a resilient segment of the market, with an experienced team known for delivering exceptional service, and a longstanding customer base that truly values the partnership.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Amy Beasley, regional growth finance lead at Allica Bank said: \u201cQuantum Print &amp; Packaging is a perfect example of a local West Mids business with big, national ambition. The flexible growth finance funding we provided to Continuance Capital enabled the acquisition and supports Quantum\u2019s growth plans, while also keeping jobs and production firmly in the area. It\u2019s fantastic to see Owen, Giles and the team building on their success and continuing to innovate in the packaging
