Charterhouse reaps 4x in SLR Consulting sale to Ares Management

Charterhouse Capital Partners has agreed to sell SLR Consulting, a UK-based environmental and advisory business, to a private equity fund managed by Ares Management.

The deal generates a 4x money multiple for Charterhouse, according to a source close to the situation.

With the support of new owner Ares, the company will seize growth opportunities amid the increasing focus on sustainability and the acceleration toward climate transitions, according to a press release.

Charterhouse acquired a majority stake in the business in 2018 from 3i investing through Charterhouse Capital Partners X, which held a final close in November 2016 on EUR 2.3bn. The vehicle targets companies valued between EUR 300m-EUR 4bn, according to Unquote Data.

Under Charterhouse’s ownership, SLR generated double-digit growth and increased its EBITDA. It completed 15 add-on acquisitions in the period, including the purchase of UK-based Vectos, a transport and mobility planning consultancy, and Corporate Citizenship, a sustainability consultancy, in April 2021, according to the press release. SLR is expected to generate revenues of around GBP 250m in 2022, according to the source.
