3i-backed environmental consultancy SLR Management has acquired Cape Town-based CCA Environmental.

SLR stated that the purchase would enhance its African client base, providing it with access to new growth markets in South Africa, Namibia and Mauritius.

In mid-2012, SLR raised £50m to finance acquisition opportunities, with debt provided by Lloyds. The acquisition of CCA is the company's fifth bolt-on via the funding, following February's purchase of US- and Canada-based HFP Acoustical Consultants. Since 2012, SLR has bought Australia-based GSS Environmental, Synergistics Environmental Services in Africa and Strategic Engineering and Sciences in the US.
