Regent Cleaning acquires Exclusive Support Services
National contractor Regent Cleaning has expanded market share and
extended geographical reach following its acquisition of Exclusive
Support Services.
Founded in 1994, Birmingham-based Exclusive Support Services, which also
has offices in London, Harwich and Manchester, has increased its field of
operation from general cleaning to include window cleaning, industrial
cleaning, washroom hygiene services, vending service and janitorial
supplies.
The deal boosts staffing levels to 4,500 and sales turnover to £26m at
Regent, itself acquired earlier this year (2008) by France’s second
largest cleaning company, 1.3 billion Euro turnover Samsic Group.
"Our integration into Samsic opens the door for us to pitch for
pan-European contracts, broaden our services offer, and develop market
share both organically and by acquisition," says Regent sales and
marketing director John Critchell.
"Exclusive Support Services is a good fit with Regent, being an
established provider to its local markets with a solid reputation.
"Its acquisition broadens our scope geographically and strategically
provides us with a presence in the London marketplace."
Exclusive Support Services managing director Alan Garrett will continue
to manage the business, in conjunction with John Critchell and Regent
operations director Jonathan King.
