Chiltern Capital has sold VIMA Group to KBR
VIMA Group
VIMA Group is a leading provider of digital transformation solutions to defense and other public sector clients. The company delivers solutions across several large-scale, high-priority digital transformation programs to support its clients in ensuring the availability of effective digital and information technology, as guided by the UK’s Digital Strategy for Defence. VIMA is a trusted adviser and a top five supplier to Defence Digital and Navy Digital – both organizations within the UK Ministry of Defence with a number of highly strategic, fast-growing programs.

In a tightly managed auction process, KBR emerged as the preferred partner for VIMA’s management team.
Philip Weston, Partner at Chiltern Capital, said, “Lincoln’s execution capabilities were second to none. Their deep sector expertise and ability to work seamlessly with the management team enabled us to achieve an excellent outcome.”
