Dunedin-backed OSS acquires Hall and Campey

The transaction was made without new capital being injected from Dunedin.

Dunedin Capital Partners previously acquired OSS in a £15m transaction in 2000. Dougal Bennett, director, stated that a relative fragmentation of the garage waste collection market creates the opportunity for more add-on acquisitions, and signalled an interest in companies in the whole of the UK.

OSS possesses facilities for refining collected waste oils into recycled fuel oil products, which are sold to industries. Iain Lees, acting group managing director of OSS, reported a high demand for these products and said collected waste oil from Hall and Campey will be used to increase production.

According to Bennett, there are currently plans to export the recycled fuel oil abroad, which would be supported by further acquisitions in the garage waste oil collection industry.

OSS Group, founded in 1987 and based in Liverpool, specialises in the collection of waste lubricating oil, which it recycles into a processed fuel oil product.

Hall and Campey, founded in 1977, specialises in garage waste collection, destruction of redundant materials, and plastic recycling. The company is based in Nottingham, where it operates two depots, and employs 31 staff.

Dougal Bennett, director, managed the deal for Dunedin. Iain Lees is the acting group managing director of OSS.
