SPECIALIST M&E RECRUITMENT BUSINESS - For Sale with Leadership Phase Out

Location

London

01

The Company

Established specialist recruitment business with a strong position in M&E and blue-collar temporary recruitment across London and the South East.

Owner-led and established for more than seven years, the business has built a strong reputation within the Mechanical & Electrical market, supplying both blue- and white-collar talent across the built environment.

Its core strength is a substantial blue-collar temporary contractor operation, supplying skilled trades and labour to building services contractors across commercial fit-out, data centres, healthcare, aviation, residential and major construction environments.

The business has previously achieved turnover in excess of £3m, operates a contractor book that has exceeded 100 temporary workers, and holds a candidate database of 25,000+ blue- and white-collar professionals.

Alongside its core M&E offering, the business has experience across wider built environment sectors such as Construction, Civils & Infrastructure and FM & Maintenance, providing further scope for development under new ownership.

As the business remains owner-led and the owner is an important part of its current operation, they recognise the need for an appropriate transition and are prepared to phase out of the business following completion to support continuity of client relationships, contractors and operations (if required).

For the right acquirer, this creates the opportunity to take on an established specialist platform and integrate it into a larger recruitment operation, while retaining the knowledge and continuity required during transition.
