A view of the maintenance work under Ecoserv Group’s supervision…

Ecoserv Group has completed the purchase of Cooltech Environmental Engineering Ltd in a £3.5 million deal. The acquisition of the Slough-based maintenance specialist is the first since Ecoserv rebranded from Ecocleen and announced its plans to become a multi-service facilities management business.

Detailing on the development, Francois Oosthuizen, COO of Ecoserv Group said, “The acquisition will allow us to diversify as part of our ambitious growth strategy, with the aim of delivering integrated FM solutions to new and existing customers nationwide. Cooltech has proven maintenance expertise that complements our existing cleaning operation, so this development represents a huge opportunity and a significant step-change for the business.”

Cooltech provides mechanical, electrical, HVAC and water hygiene services to a wide range of premises and works with many of the UK’s leading property managing agents. Launched in 1992, the company has a turnover of £7.5 million and is recognised as a leading maintenance partner within the FM marketplace. Cooltech’s 40-strong team, including a network of on-site and mobile engineers, supports 100 customer locations in and around the M25 in the commercial residential, office, retail and hospitality space.

Ecocleen has secured funding from BOOST&Co, a UK-based independent asset manager, specialising in growth-lending solutions for high-growth SMEs, to complete the Cooltech acquisition. The company was also advised and supported throughout the process by AS Advisory, James Cowper Kreston and Owen White Solicitors.
