Rapidly growing Aim-listed Green Compliance plc, headquartered
in Gloucestershire, has announced a further acquisition within the
pest control and prevention sector. On 7 December 2010, the company
completed the acquisition of the entire issued share capital of
Enviroguard (UK) Ltd.
Green Compliance provides water, fire and pest control &
compliance services to organisations throughout the UK. Following
the acquisition of Pestfree Environmental Services in mid November,
Enviroguard is the 3rd pest prevention business to be acquired by
the group, and marks the 11th acquisition since February 2010.
Based in Penshurst near Tonbridge in Kent, Enviroguard has
traded since 1984 and employs 14 staff. The business provides
pest control and prevention services and specialist bacteria
control services to a wide range of organizations, primarily in the
public sector and retail and leisure industries.
The business will be integrated into the Company's existing pest
operations with the intention to maximise potential productivity
and operational efficiencies within the combined group. John
Somner, the current managing director of the business, will remain
as a Consultant to the business for a period, post completion.
Trevor Brennand has joined from Connaught Compliance as Managing
Director of Green Compliance Pest Prevention Services, and will now
take overall responsibility for all 3 pest control businesses.
Trevor has a wealth of experience having worked in pest control for
12 years at National Britannia, which was bought by Connaught in
2007. He was also a co-owner and director of ANT Environmental.
Commenting on the acquisition John Prowse, CEO of Green
Compliance plc, said: "Our third acquisition within the pest
control and prevention sector allows us to offer a quality and
responsive service in this highly fragmented market. Combined with
our existing presence in water treatment and hygiene, fire
protection and energy services, this strengthened presence in pest
control and prevention further establishes Green Compliance as a
serious national player within the compliance services
marketplace."
"Enviroguard also brings with it an excellent quality client
base within its area and will allow us to further enhance client
relationships within the London and South East market."
