Lebara Mobile is currently owned by Waterland Private Equity, which acquired the company from its previous owners, Alchemy and Triton Partners, in August 2024. This move marks a significant transition for Lebara, which is a leading mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) with operations and brand presence across several European countries including the UK, France, Germany, Netherlands, and Denmark[1][2][3].
The acquisition by Waterland Private Equity is aimed at supporting Lebara’s growth ambitions in its core markets, leveraging Waterland’s experience in the telecommunications sector. The deal follows several years of stewardship by Alchemy and Triton Partners, who took control of Lebara in 2019 and invested in the company to revitalize its operations[4][5][7]. The transaction is subject to regulatory approval, but has been publicly announced and confirmed by both parties involved[2][7].
