Gold Medal Pools & Construction Secures a Strategic Investment from The Cynosure Group
Headquartered in the rapidly growing Dallas-Fort Worth market, Gold Medal Pools & Construction (“GMP” or “Gold Medal”), a leading provider of turnkey construction solutions for hardscapes, outdoor living, and pool and aquatic features, has received a strategic investment from The Cynosure Group.
GMP, an employee and family-owned Company, found Cynosure to be an ideal partner due to its management-centric and partnership-oriented approach, patient capital base, and its capability to craft a flexible investment structure. “We’re exciting to be partnering with a firm that brings such a collaborative and supportive nature to its investments, we could not have asked for a better cultural fit,” said CEO, Josh Sandler. “We believe that we are in the early innings of our growth trajectory as a firm, and in partnership with Cynosure, we believe we will be able to accelerate that path while continuing to put our clients first.”
Cynosure’s core approach to investing aligns well with GMP given GMP’s positioning within a core US industry, which should benefit from long-run secular tailwinds such as increases in experiential spending, retail revitalization and domestic migration trends, and an industry leading management team with meaningful ownership. “We pride ourselves on being supportive partners to leading management teams in industries with long-term secular tailwinds. Josh and his team fit that mold perfectly and we are excited to be partnering with GMP, Josh and its management team. We see tremendous run-way for the organization and look forward to growing the business together,” said Andrew Braithwaite, Principal, at The Cynosure Group.
Post-transaction, GMP will continue to be majority controlled by its CEO, Josh Sandler, and its management team.
