Warburg Pincus and Macquarie Capital Principal Finance have announced they are to jointly acquire a majority stake in UK-based building compliance service Premier Technical Services Group (PTSG).

PTSG has been under Macquarie's ownership since 2019 and the GP has since provided funding to PTSG from its balance sheet, according to a statement. The deal sees Macquarie reinvest in the structure.

The deal came about via a bilateral approach from Warburg Pincus to both Macquarie and PTSG's management team, a source close to the situation told Unquote.

Premier Technical Services Group

  • DEAL:

    Buyout

  • LOCATION:

    Castleton

  • SECTOR:

  • TURNOVER:

    £133.7m (2019)

  • EBITDA:

The investment is intended to back the company in the next stage of its growth and to support its organic growth and consolidation strategy, with the aim of acquiring a greater share of the UK market.

The company has 1,400 staff across its 37 UK sites and is headquartered in Castleford, West Yorkshire. PTSG posted 2019 revenues of £133.7m, compared with almost £69.1m in 2018 and £52.9m in 2017. The company posted adjusted EBITDA of £35m in 2018, compared with £12.3m in 2017.
