The engineering services group has received a secondary investment from funds under management by private equity firm Aliter Capital LLP, which will support the company’s ambitious growth plans.
Edwin James Group, helps some of the biggest brands in the UK look after their critical environments and assets. Aliter’s initial investment in January 2017 was followed by five acquisitions.
Commenting on the new deal, Christopher Kehoe, CEO of Edwin James Group, said: “The Group has grown considerably over the last five years and this further backing from Aliter demonstrates their commitment to our strategic plan. We’ve built a successful partnership and have a shared understanding of the market and our ambitions.“The new funding backs our management team to deliver significant future growth that will be achieved organically and through further M&A, and gives us a platform to launch our next five-year strategy.”
Billy Allan, Managing Partner of Aliter, said: “Over the last five years we’ve seen the Edwin James Group go from strength to strength. The company has an excellent management team with a clear strategy to build a national engineering services group that harnesses the synergies of its three operating brands.“They have delivered consistent growth and have ambitious plans to take the Group forward. Aliter is excited to continue the relationship and our new investment will support further expansion through an innovation-led and disruptive approach to the market.”
Over the last 12 months, the company has seen an increase in revenue to £160 million. Several high-profile contract wins, including Sellafield and Northumbrian Water, and significant growth in the forward order book from £155 million to £800 million puts the organisation in a “favourable position to continue delivering robust results”.Edwin James Group is expanding its data and technology capabilities to help companies manage and deliver sustainability, digital and energy transition.
FMJ in conjunction with Grundon Waste Management is pleased to launch the 2023 waste management and recycling survey which examines the ways in which FMs approach their waste management responsibilities.
In this, the sixth year for the annual appraisal, we know there is a greater opportunity than ever for FMs to reappraise their waste and recycling operations and help their organisations meet the growing pressure to achieve ESG goals.
We want to learn how FMs have adapted to the legislative, economic and societal changes of the past year and how they plan to meet the latest waste and recycling targets.
In this survey we’ve posed a series of questions which include insights into FMs’ waste management strategy and targets, how they’re moving towards zero waste targets, and the importance of not just meeting compliance targets but also ESG goals.
The results of the 2023 survey will be published in FMJ magazine and form the basis of a white paper co-written by FMJ and the experts at Grundon on how to approach waste and recycling strategies.
