ABCA Systems has announced the acquisition of Citrus Group. This news follows the recent takeovers of Maintec, A.G.S. Tech and HBS Fabrication Northwest.
Based in Prescot, near Liverpool, Citrus specialises in electrical installation, repairs, and testing services, particularly for local authorities and housing associations across the Midlands and Northern England.
Phillip Miller, Group CEO of ABCA Systems, said: ” Citrus aligns perfectly with our strategy to broaden our capabilities in key regions and service areas like Electrical Compliance, which are relevant to our existing and new customers and where we see growing demand. The Citrus team’s expertise and dedication to safety and quality make them a valuable addition to ABCA. We are excited about the opportunities this partnership will unlock for both companies as we continue to grow and diversify our offerings.”
Jack Stockton, co-owner of Citrus Group with Michael Barnes, commented: “Joining ABCA Systems is a natural progression for Citrus Group. Through this sale to ABCA, we will be able to extend our expertise and services into the Electrical Compliance space more effectively, which will only strengthen our offering to local authorities and housing associations.”
Phil Batson, Managing Director of ABCA Systems, commented on the acquisition: “The addition of Citrus Group to our portfolio is a significant step forward for ABCA. We look forward to working closely with the Citrus team and are confident that this partnership will drive mutual growth and success.”
