History
editEuromoney magazine was founded by Sir Patrick Sergeant in 1969 as an international business-to-business media group focused primarily on the international finance sector.[2] The costs to launch the magazine were covered with £6,000 from Associated Newspapers and £200 from Sergeant himself and a number of other Mail employees, with Hambros Bank putting up stand-by credit. Padraic Fallon joined the magazine as editor. He would takeover as chairman and executive after Sergeant, overseeing the company until his death in 2012.[3]
Patrick Sergeant continued to manage the business until 1985 when he became chairman. The company was first listed on the London Stock Exchange in 1986.[4] Sergeant retired as chairman in September 1992 when he was appointed president and non-executive director, but served as a board member until May 2018.[2]
It was formerly 49% owned by the Daily Mail and General Trust Group until the stake was spun-off in 2019.[5]
In July 2022, the company agreed to accept a takeover offer worth £1.7 billion from private equity groups, Astorg and Epiris.[6] The transaction was approved by the court on 22 November 2022.[7] The company changed its name to Delinian in January 2023.[8]
