Aegis Group, the media communications and market research company, is to acquire international healthcare research business, ISIS Research, for an initial sum of £15.5 million.
Aegis says that ISIS will become a key part of Synovate Healthcare, the group’s healthcare research division. The deal carries a deferred payment of up to £8.3 million over the next two years, depending on the performance of ISIS during this time.
Commenting on the announcement, Doug Flynn, Aegis’ chief executive, said: “ISIS is a great fit and provides a number of excellent research products that will be rolled-out throughout Synovate Healthcare’s global network.”
