Jefferies’ M&A team raid pay off with top billing on BCA buyout

The board of BCA Marketplace, a UK secondhand car dealer, announced on Wednesday that it would recommend a £1.9bn offer from TDR Capital to take the company private. The deal marks a coup for Jefferies, which is lead financial adviser to BCA, a role it won following the hire of a UK M&A team from HSBC last year led by Philip Noblet.
