Aliter's Edwin James Holdings bolts on WT Parker

The acquisition expands EJH's business in the UK Midlands in order to create a national technical services business. EJH will have combined revenues of around £110m and total headcount of around 1,000. WT Parker CEO Sean Smyth will lead the business and Aliter's Billy Allan and Greig Brown will join the board.

The bolt-on deal was financed by Aliter's recently closed maiden fund, Aliter Capital I, which reached a hard-cap of £92m in February 2017. The deal is the third investment made with capital drawn from the GP's £92m maiden fund after the acquisition of UK-based Complete Asset Life Management Group (Calm).
