Alex Dunne and Kevin Taylor, founders of Wellington Computer Systems Ltd., an ERP software company serving the beverage and financial industries, were preparing for retirement after 30 years and wanted to ensure the long-term viability of their company and stability for employees and customers. Their initial plan for a management buyout was too complex, so they decided to sell the company to Volaris Group, a buy-and-hold acquirer of vertical market software businesses, which offered continuity and a permanent home, unlike private equity firms. Volaris' model of holding companies indefinitely provides stability and positions companies like Wellington for long-term success.
