Newcastle-based ABCA Systems Group has completed the triple acquisition of Maintec, A.G.S. Tech and HBS Fabrication Northwest, thereby adding a further £10m+ in combined annualised revenues to the business thanks to backing from Trimountain Partners and Santander UK.
The acquisitions of Maintec and A.G.S. will further enhance the Group’s expertise, capabilities, reach and customer base in fire and security compliance, providing opportunities to accelerate growth through additional scale, cross-sell avenues and investment in future innovation. Similarly, the partnership with HBS Fabrication Northwest will enable ABCA to provide in-house another critical and complementary, value-added offering to existing and new clients.
“We are delighted to welcome these three leading companies into the Group,” said CEO Phil Miller. “They will help us provide an even higher level of service and satisfaction to our clients, especially those in the social housing sector. I’m particularly excited as two of the key players who will be joining us, Chris King and Colin Prescott were previously part of the ABCA Systems Group many years ago before successfully growing A.G.S. organically into the business it has become today, whilst in parallel acquiring and expanding HBS.
“Also joining us and strengthening the leadership team is Steve Cranshaw of Maintec, who brings to the table a wealth of knowledge and experience that will help us to grow even more.
With Phil Miller recently stepping up into the CEO role, the position of managing director of ABCA Systems Group has been taken up by former commercial director, Phil Batson who said: “The acquisitions add tremendous value to our business and will propel us to the next level.”
