Baar, Oct 9, 2025 – We are delighted to share the news that Eyal Kaplan, an entrepreneur from the Novastone Capital Advisors (NCA) Operator-Led Buyout Program, has successfully acquired Paul Mathew Transport Ltd. (PMT) – a well-established UK-based logistics company specializing in transportation and warehousing for the theatre and live entertainment industry.
Founded in 1980, PMT has been a trusted partner to the creative and live events sector for more than four decades, delivering reliable and complex logistics solutions across the United Kingdom.
This transaction represents another strong example of the Operator-Led model in action – connecting outstanding entrepreneurs with successful small and mid-sized businesses ready for the next phase of growth.
Eyal brings a proven track record in strategy and operations from his leadership roles at Amazon and TJX Europe, and his entrepreneurial drive aligns perfectly with the ETA model’s focus on long-term value creation and continuity.
We at Novastone Partners are proud to be part of the investor group supporting this acquisition, and we look forward to accompanying Eyal and Novastone Capital Advisors as Paul Mathew Transport Ltd. enters its next chapter of growth and success.
Congratulations to Eyal, NCA, and all involved on another milestone transaction demonstrating the strength and impact of the Operator-Led model across Europe.
